Default Ladwig and Rado at NHRA Finals

OK sports fans, pay attention to the Comp Eliminator Class as Marty and Chris will be going at it. Marty in fact qualified #1 at the Vegas event so look for the front drive cars to make a dent in the field!

where the heck have you been in superstock Scott? Been keeping an eye out for you but have not seen you listed in any events lately.

Also, Marty got cic'd at vegas, but I don't think it will follow him to Cali this weekend because vegas is a alt corrected track, right?

Marty has been hitting the index hard lol

It's great to see him out there though, hopefully a few more of us can join in next year!

Brian Fitzpatrick is also on the Comp Eliminator Entry List along with John Mihovetz. Wish these drivers success this weekend.

Rado, Mihovetz, Ladwig, Fitzpatrick.....Turbo cars should occupy 4 out of the top 10 spots. Just please please PLEASE learn to watch your index Import drivers!

Rado/Ladwig: 7.92 Index.
Fitzpatrick: 7.00 Index.

Marty has hit AA/AF for .08, while Brian has chunked H/D for .10. For those that don't know, that's a lot of index to lose in a season. Try to keep 'em above .61 under during eliminations!

If Marty and Chris go quicker than 7.32 (Which we all know they can do with ease) during eliminations, their index is going to SUFFER! They have to back them down a little if they want to have a chance in the class!

Also, did you guys who care hear about Mihovetz buying the Aeromotive car from Steve Matusek (owner/operator of Aeromotive, Inc.)? That's a fast ***, well built car with a lot of new stuff the old Pro V-8 Turbo Kitty doesn't have!

i read a nice article on Mihovetz in a ford magazine while waiting a pep boys earlier this year. His own car is pretty fast. Matusek car is pretty bad ***. Look out for him 2010!

There usually aren't many pics of comp, and even less of SC's in comp lol

But the NHRA site is a good place to start looking.

Mihovetz hit the wall last weekend at the PSCA Fontana race, I don't think he'll be running this weekend.

I looked through National Dragster with the Las Vegas coverage, nothing about the sport compact cars.

Good for Rado! I saw a burnout vid of a PSCA race I would guess was last weekend.

That is right where he needs to be to go rounds, I just hope these guys don't get guys like Fletcher round 1 lol

Me too!!!! Awesome job Rado. 1/8 mile was cooking also. Fastest fwd 1/8 by a long shot.

Not sure if he wants it posted or not so I will wait.

I will say this he would have qualified for all of the ADRL Extreme 10.5 races this year but maybe one. His 1/8 was that good. Wow congrats to Dave Z and the rest of the crew also.
