I know some of you don't care but at least someone is there with a Honda. Hopefully someone will post pictures.


Right Lane: Richard Barga Runs 7.211/191.76/-0.559, Now #4
CC/AT Index: 7.77
Barga is in an 09 Accord, which looks something like a Pontiac G6 in race car trim. The turbo pops once as he leaves but doesn't sound like World War III on the chip like a lot of turbo cars do. Or maybe I just can't hear the four banger.

 

Awesome, wish I would of seen it. I've been out there the last two days helping some friends out.

 

Isn't that car a 6 cyl?

 

 

yeah its a 6. those guys dont know anything about imports. it runs that well and the guy who writes that is still condescending.

 

Thanks for the update rota

 

Nope, I'm rota's dad, but your welcome.

It's nice to see what's going on in drag racing.

 

Haha close enough

 

big daddy don garlits is making a comeback this weekend as well in a drag pack challenger in stock elim for those who care...1992si is the only one who knows who im talking about huh byron? haha.

good luck to the import!

 

Met the legend and have a picture of him from the World Finals at Ontario Motor Speedway in 1978. lol

Thanks for the heads up I'll have to check the results.

 

Looks like Barga is #19 after Q2.

Garlits didnt make the field, cut off was -1.016, he only went .868 under his index.

 

WOW! A picture with Big Daddy Garlits @ OMS! I hope you have that framed!

 

Garlits made the field in class A/SA. Just got beat in the first round.

 

@.559 under Barga should be in the field.

Did you see the number of cars in the classes. 179 cars in SS , 21 hemi cars in one place.

 

I think they're still in qualifying, They should have 4 rounds, so I'm guessing he has two more shots.

 

I was just there today, they are done. He lost first round, we had a car in his class, another drag pak car, which is the only reason I was actually paying attention.

NHRA is just really slow updating these times. I'm sure they'll be on it once the pro cars start running though...haha

 

Thanks,

I'm jealous...

 

It is pretty awesome being able to help/hang out with the drag pak car (who was the fastest drag pak car there ), and a couple of HEMI Superstockers (Silver Bullet and Super Cuda)!!!.

 

yeah i saw all those cars...just for one class. Crazy.

I just never understood why NHRA wouldnt just let the import run as a series within their series at selected events. yeah, i know, they have all the stock and comp classes....

 

He lost to Fletcher...which is a machine. When is the last time you cut a .007 light and still lose? Haha.

Every car, not just the 128, make the class eliminations.

 

Left Lane: Richard Barga Runs 7.192/192.30/-0.578, Now #11
CC/AT Index: 7.77 Prior Best: 7.211/191.76/-0.559, Was #19

Still running well.

 

is there any other imports running?

there are 30 pro stock cars....a few IHRA notables running the 500cu motrs trying to make the show....

man, one of these days i need to get to an Indy US Nationals.

 

Guy who writes what? What the hell are you talking about? lol

 

can someone explain to me why it looks like there is a wastegate attached to the intake in this pic?

 

Ive been to Don Garlits museum 4 times and im from NH. He is the reason why the motor is in the back. Im 19, dont have to be 40+ to know that.
