AJ, I'm thinking with that good practice against an extremely tight field at NRP, you're going to be a bad hombre.

Nice intro page on the PRP site for Russ' track championship... except that one pic has an ornery, shady looking bald guy in it.

Thanks to Stephanie Vasbinder for taking pics on the King of Street day, lots of nice shots. Of course, I saw at least one of a Vibe in that mix too.

Chuck we will see.

AJ

there was a ton of cars faster than 7.70 there.
when you run a quick 32 or 330 race , they are supposed to turn off the 660 timer. but ran it all together. and the boy that ran the 7.34 and backed it up with the 7.35 was beaver springs jr champion. first the dad said that bob told thenm they cant do that after his first pass, then he said bob asked if he could back it up. and thats when he ran the 7.35.
i think at antthing faster than a 7.70, you loose your license for a year. that happened to a girl down south last season. they rented the track and the first pass she went like a 7.54.
nhra heard about it and pulled her license for a year then notifed ihra and they did the same.

Oh it was a 330 race. That would be okay but you would think they would shut off the 1/8mi. Oh well.

Looks like it will be a good day for the PA challenge. We need to beat that BEAVER and show them who is boss!!!

AJ

I agree!!! Looks like a good day to beat up on some Beaver.....

we will defintly be there. coming up sat and staying for sunday.
from the sounds of it, i dont think there will be many from beaver springs there.

Who were the big winners last night??

AJ

Not me. I picked a bad time to have a good light... if I had been shallow instead of deep.

Josh Rietscha and Rich Zemrose matched up in Top. Josh was having problems hooking, and dialed 9.20, but Rich got the win. I thought it was going to be Mike Balaska's night, but in the semis, as he was trying to bump in, the car wouldn't go, and when it did, he took too big a bump, .015 red to Ron Hamill. Hamill bulbed to Mark Brewer Sr in the final. No offense to Kevin or Tom, but it was really cool to see Lenny Kerestes get the Street win.

I can't wait for this weekend. I just hope I got the red out. Who's in?

Chuck,

I thoughtit was Mikes night as well. He was knocking the tree over all night. That happens when you bump though. After looking over my slips thats what was plaging me all night. Wasnt taking the same one each time. I was consistent though on 60ft. It was either 1.65 or 1.63 all depending on the bump I took. Geesh.

Oh well glad that is behind me and cant wait til this weekend. It can only be better cause last night was not good at all for me.

Congrats to all the guys that won last night.

AJ

I guess the PA State Challenge was a wash? Or a forfeit?

Your dad did a real nice job of cutting me down in Street. I was toast if I didn't have the tree on him. Just like the KOS day, you and Mike are both due. And maybe I am too.

Might need to bring the tree up if we get rain delayed, AJ.

Its still in the trailer. Havent had time to unload it. We can do it whether or not we have a rain delay.....

AJ

Sounds good to me.

What's up guys? I found the problem with the ole Grand Prix...#8 intake valve spring was broken! I guess that's why I ran a tenth off the dial I'll get it fixed for this weekend though!

I was cheering for Mikey Balaska all night! He is definitely due for a win. He's driving really good, but just not catching a break when he needs it....but I think that he should ease up on AJ a bit!!

Thats not a good thing but a quick fix. You going to change them all?

Mikey never takes it easy on me. Actually not many people do. Oh well I need to get my **** together.

AJ

Is everyone ready for the race on SAT?

I was thinking we should plan on having a practice tree race saturday after the race. As long as Russ brings his buttons for the tree.

AJ

Glad to hear you found the problem in time for this weekend and the Classic, Russ. Maybe Mike will take it easy on AJ after you take it easy on Mike. That could get confusing. Tom started to mention you found the problem on the Monte?

Weather looks like it will cooperate for Saturday, knock on wood. I'm in for the tree race, and we're staying at the track for Sunday, so Mike and Barry will be in. I can help out like we did at Bracket Finals too. Speaking of Finals, I was hoping the coverage would be in this new issue of DRM.

Weather still looks good for Sat. we will see what happens.

AJ

hey girls!!is there going to be open parking or are there still paid parking.we need to be close to the staging lanes as possible!!

Should still be paid parking. If I wanted to be close to the lanes I would pit at the bottom of top pit road down towards the concession stand. I don't think there are reserved spots down there and you could push to the staging lanes from there.

AJ, I'll bring my buttons for the practice tree. However, there may be a rental fee depending on who wins the big loot! I just want to make sure that Prest guy doesn't park by me....I heard he's a real pain in the butt!
