I don't want to give too much info away while Charlie preps the podium and field line-up pictures but ....
here is a shot of a highly anticipated showdown.
It was Wild (** **)
Check these time slips -
Joe's car was smooth and launched good with out any issue and was out on me by over a tenth at the 60ft mark, that was about 5 car lengths. My car with the huge HP and out of the blister pack Classic tires was 'violent'. I jumped straight up, all 4 wheels, bounced and shook to about the 5/8ths mark with Joe still ahead, it grabbed traction and blasted by on the 'big end'. I finished that car at 4:30 AM day of.... never tested. even playing field.
Joe you were so freakin' far ahead I never thought it would catch you. Your car was a dead consistant bracket car and mine was a Wild ride. Gave up a tenth at 60ft and found more than two and a half tenths on the way down.
I'm biased .. thought it was the most exciting exhibition race. A super slo-mo would be the way to watch that!

The Entries - here we go - a lot of time crunching images but worth it for the event...
One of BillB's 'go to cars' Always presents very well and it ran great. It was up agains't Paul's Magic muffler for the class win.
Bill won one round with a 1.54 @ 25.40 to Paul's wheelspinning 1.63 @ 25.33. Think that was close?
How about a lane switch and Paul gets the win with a 1.623 @ 27.99 to Bill's 1.658 @ 25.25.
This might have been the closest race all day, It sure was one of the best and most and colorful nostalgic race to watch.
Best ET: 1.54
Best MPH: 27.99
