Thought I'd forgot all about you folks, hey? Nah, justmaking a run and sweating. So here's your first update of the weekend.
There are lots of little motorcycles hdere. A turbo 175 Honda, a couple of 100's, a couple of 250, and so on. More than usual, for sure. They're running 62, 76, and speeds like that. And a good assortment of bigger-motored bikes, too -- the turbo 'Busas are represented by a few bikes we haven't seen before -- and some of the usual suspectst. Dean Sabatanelli just ran 214 naked on the Scott Guthrie #1107, and Todd, on the 1111 sidecar bike has made a couple of runs in the lower 170s. I managed a 177 on the street ZX14 -- and was happy about it in the high temp/higher humidity air. Josh Owen is justleaving the pit on the nitrous 1302 bike -- and will be through the lights in less than 20 minutes or so.
The lines are pretty short -- thanks to the weather, no doubt. As of a half hour ago there is no further need for pre-stage lines -- that's how well things are moving.
So - to cars -- let's see -- Joe Ledford in the #55 roadster did 195, a circle track car a 186, a stock Chevy pickup 116++. Unh, let's wait a minute -- car 7770 is leaving the line -- I'll tell you more in a second or two. It's an Datsun 240, I think (kinda hard to see) and he ran 145. Photos:
Unh, I don't know much about this one -- except that I think he's going to run it!
Our pit - - the TJRD pit, that is. . .
And look at this great ol' Ford:
And the 9232 Camaro just ran -- sounded dang good -- but no speed has been announced. Ah, there -- 190.887.
Todd Dross just put down a 173 on the sidecar bike.
Now -- I've got a photo of Flipper that I'll put on here, just to let you know what we've gotta deal with at Maxton. I'll give you a hint -- she's wearing a custom-made shirt. I'll post that in a minute or two.
