Default IDRC Palmdale Video + Pics

many thanks to the idrc crew for another killer event... weather was flawless, air was good, some people ran personal bests... great car show too!

how many cars in pro-am fwd? was it 15 qualifiers? love that class!! rado cruised it to an 8.8 running on what sounded like 2 cylinders, looked like ali afshar may have broke early, 9.36(?) from the other subie, several people got loose on the big end; norris p's car made a radical move way up there, at least one h-t'er went into the sand box, and mike laskey made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, lol!

erick a. ran 10.1, but he lost to norm when he got his pant leg tangled up in the foot pedals... congrats and props to norm, he's worked hard to run those numbers, but i sure would have liked to see a norris p. 10.1 vs. an erick 10.1 in the all-motor final.

the junkyard dog got painted, ran a 9.17(??!), but lost in the final round of quick... congrats for a fine season nevertheless... hope i got all my numbers straight here! saturday qualifying video up at:

qfactor got the same shot that i did, as did felix, who also posted it in his thread... what are the odds of that happening?

Yea, I drive the yellow Exospeed Racing civic coupe, as for the damage done to the motor, its part of racing, it just sucks it was caused by a $5 alternator belt shreading and coming off...

thanks guys for the props!

i think that the firefox plugin structure is scheduled to be fixed on the next release(knock on wood!)... i haven't been able to get firefox to work with embedded wmv or even some embedded flash video.

earl asked to see the laskey broken axle pass, so i posted it here:
