I'm not a big fan of the throttle stop classes, but I do like seeing cool door cars. And throttle stopping a Top Sportsman car for 3 seconds, to 9.90, at 201mph was b itchin'!



Same racer, Michael Manners, also entered a blower powered rail in Super Comp. Throttle stopping for 3.5 seconds for 8.90 class, at 216mph!

Well, wing nuts, we're not millionaires. Pro Stock/Pro Mod/swingset fantasies on hold. We did win $3, I'll play that for Saturday's drawing.

UPDATE for Saturday: The bracket race is canceled. IHRA had to move the Sportsman National schedule up, due to the threat of rain on Sunday. From DragRaceCentral.com:

Facing a forecast calling for a 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday, race officials have moved the schedule for the Pittsburgh Thunder Nationals Sportsman National event up and will run qualifying and the first round of eliminations Saturday evening, following the completion of the second Summit Racing Equipment Pro Am.
The remainder of eliminations will be run Sunday, starting at 9:30 a.m.

While some of the routes you drive may or may Not be listed the follow item pertains to all roads in PA.


In Addition take special attention to the highlighted portion at the end and that doesn't include any other
fines they may include seat belt buckled up, inspection registration expired lights burnt out all mean more money.



Watch out!!!

BULLETIN! BULLETIN! BULLETIN

Look out for Penn dot trucks parked along the road or appearing behind you pacing you, it could be a Trooper
driving the truck, it is called 'Operation Yellow Jacket' and will be off and on all summer, each district has
a truck cleaned up and ready to go!

Watch Your Speed In PA!

USE CRUISE CONTROL AND IF YOU ARE IN THAT MUCH OF A HURRY AT NO MORE THAN 2 MILES
ABOVE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

THE FEW MINUTES YOU SAVE SPEEDING, ISN'T WORTH A TICKET OR
A GAMBLE WITH YOUR LIFE.


Starting today, Pennsylvania will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy.

The state estimates that 9 million
dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime.

There will be 50 state
troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways.

They are the following:

Rte.

81 north and south
PA-220
I-99 north and south
I-95 north and south
&n bsp; I-279 north and south
I-276 east and west
I-376 east and west
I-76 east and west
I-80 east and west
I-79 north and south
& nbsp; I-70 east and west
PA-60
PA-66
US-22 & 322

ALL SHOULD READ & REMEMBER THIS PART OF EMAIL !!!!
5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket
every 10 to 20 minutes.

They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers and are bringing
in all of their part timers on full time. If you work in western Pennsylvania, you will probably take one of these highways.


It's up to you how fast you are going when they clock you.



KDKA and WDVE & CBS3 confirmed all of this.

So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets are on your Driving
Ticket fine increase in PA:

Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of PA Law 39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license,
registration, or insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to $173.

00

Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them.

If you jump in the car to run to the store and
forget your wallet with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just spent $173.

And the fine for not
having all three documents is $519!!!

*****Make sure everyone knows about this! ******
