Thanx for the very kind words -- it was a pleasure to meet you.
I'm out, I can't hook at this track -- no matter what I tried. It got worse and worse as the week wore on. I normally have a 1.29 60' but was spinning through the 330' with 1.50s in the 60'.
In round one I had Gerry Bates (Red 67 Ford Fairlaine) and treed him .033 to .103. I spun fora 1.672 60', 4.351 330, 6.532 @ 114.37, 8.403 1000', and 9.979 @143.24. I was all over the track and stayed in it to catch him. Almost did as he did a 10.637 @123.60 on a 10.5 and had a slow light. We crossed at about the same time -- but he says he lifted. My car is killing me with the spinning! The track is slippery and alot of fast cars are having problems -- but some like Kurt and DW are not.
TD Holland beat Doug Duell
The princess won against Barry Camp in a squeaker. Barry treed here -- but was at the wrong end of adouble breakout.
DW had a break Bye.
00 Lifted too early and lost to Brian Merrick
Donnie Wilson beat Bud Cochran
Poskivich had a break bye
Skip won against Mike Davis
Ava lost to Roell
and #1 Qualifier Hoblick had a bye.
This is the first time since Atlanta last year that I did make it to the third round. It looks like Skip will pass me up for third -- and the Princess might pass Doug -- and Kurt might pass me up if he goes another round as the Obama Points Redistribution Policy of the NMCA this year gave #5 through #10 points to close them up to the top four.
The good news is that Dallas is still in. |
