weather is looking great for the rest of the weekend

 

In for the updates! Cannot wait to see some coverage, wish I was up there to see it in person.

 

BLAH!!!!
Hate I missed it once again this year

 

Still drying the track. Sun is back out. Should be racing within the next hour to hour and a half. All classes starting with index cars will get one qualifying session tonight.

 

Anyone happen to know the current et records for the classes competing this weekend. I like to be familiar with them as I watch the event.

 

Track Prep Under Way!!!

 

Qualifying will start at approximately 5 p.m. We will start calling cars to the lanes shortly!

 

We are making noise!

 

Charles Webb running 10.00 Index in his 93 Civic looks like he lost a driver's fender and door at over 142 mph and did a nice job keeping the car off the wall. Parts are picked up and we are back to racing!

Qualifier #1

Jeff Harrington II 6.57 @ 216
Mo Hall 6.51 @ 205

Turbo vs. Nitrous to start it off. Awesome side by side pair of run 4.31 vs. 4.20 to the 1/8th and Hall goes to the top spot

Mike Gerber 18.43 @ 44
Bill Lutz N/T @

Lutz driving a 98 Eclipse is leaking after the burnout and is shut off. Gerber in the green nitrous S-10 has issues getting to the 60 foot block and clicks it off

#147X 29.30 @ 33
Robbie Pafumi 10.94 @ 86

No info on the blue Lexus in the left lane against the 67 Nova. The Nova jumps in both bulbs building boost and is stopped as courtesy staging is in effect and so they restage the car and they launch and something let go in the trans at half track and we have a clean up while the Lexus launches and stalls

Carl Brunet 6.45 @ 216
Harry Jarvis 6.73 @ 171

Brunet with a nice run in Mike Edwards old pro stock GXP with the import motor while Jarvis had the chutes out at the 1000' mark and still lays out a nice number as you can see how much mph he lost

Juan Illanas 6.46 @ 214
Jorge Lazcano 6.57 @ 216

Nice side by side pair of runs in the imports as the crew went nuts as Illanas misses the top spot by 1 thou

Enzo Pecchini N/T @
Damon Chin 6.68 @ 173

Chin goes 4.18 to the 1/8th mile and was off the throttle early at the other end and still coasts to a nice run that will count while Pecchini smokes the tires on the hit running the 315 radial but he will get another shot as we had a little timing glitch somehow

Michael Vera 6.74 @ 208
Victor Flores 15.89 @ 50

Vera in the RX8 was 4.39 to half track and was on a rail while Flores launches towards the wall and chutes it off

Jim Brown 7.87 @ 123
Abraham Lehardy 7.20 @ 167

Brown was on a decent run until he saw Lehardy moving all over the place and Brown shut it down early

Brenda Paddock N/T @
Shawn Brown N/T @

Brown is pushed back after the burnout as he couldn't get in reverse and Paddock launches and makes it a soft 60 foot and backfires thru the scoop

Jesus Mulencez @
Paul Reyes @

Battle of two men from Puerto Rico. Reyes does the burnout and catches fire when he goes to back up and is quickly put out. Mulencez's car got hot and is pushed back and will come back at the end of the session

Gregg Brooks 8.42 @ 129
Nestor Gonzalez N/T @

Gonzalez is leaking on the line and is pushed back while Brooks in the Chevy II nitrous machine clicks it early down track

Jerry Mograno 7.5 @ 117

Morgano went 4.28 @ 157 so he was off the throttle before the 1/8th and and coasts

Jesus Mulendez 6.87 @ 192
Edwin Burgos 13.08 @ 55

Mulendez is back after he let the car cool down after he sat and watched Reyes catch fire after the burnout earlier. Burgos turns left at the go and Mulendez makes a pretty good run going 1.03 60 foot and dipping in the 4.30s to the 1/8th

Nestor Gonzalez 7.94 @ 133

Gonzalez is back after leaking and was rolling but shut it off early

Qualifier #1

Paul Curry 7.27 @ 197

Martinez used up about every inch of track down track as that little red rotary was moving around big time while Curry in the nice looking radial Camaro makes a nice run

Raul Aceredo 14.45 @ 51
Kevin Fournier 8.39 @ 166

Aceredo was off the throttle almost immediately while Fournier in the nitrous Mustang takes it to the other end

Hector Martinez 7.52 @ 139
Juan Tellafo 7.89 @ 157 (DQ)

So Tellafo takes out some cones at the top end and his run is DQ'd while I believe that may have affected the ET of Martinez who could have another run if he can make it back in time

Dave Hinzman 7.04 @ 200
Ricky Fox 15.29 @ 59

Fox spins on the hit and Hinzman with a great hit goes to the top of the list

Shawn Cassady 9.76 @ 123
Erick Galarza 7.86 @ 162

Galarza from Puerto Rico used up a lot of track at the top end while Cassady spun on the hit

Alessandro de Luca 7.81 @ 163
Luis Torres 10.35 @ 106

De Luca from Puerto Rico vs Torres from Pennsylvania and De Luca goes #4 while Torres launches and is off the gas at the 60 foot

Mark Carlyle 7.46 @ 216
Pedro Collazo N/T @

Collazo is pushed back in the burnout for leaking and Carlyle spins on the hit and gets back in it

#2535 7.66 @ 177
Omar Benitez 7.84 @ 181

Nice clean pair of side by side runs here. Import on the let no information right now

Luis Santiago 23.31 @ 43

Juarbe goes in front of Hinzman by 2 thousandths by Santiago launches and slows immediately

Andrew DeMarco 6.93 @ 207
Alex Ortiz 7.27 @ 185

DeMarco gets in the 6s and goes 4.58 to the 1/8th to Ortiz 4.66 and takes the top spot by over a tenth

Luis Corujo 7.21 @ 194
Frankie Villanueva 24.65 @ 37

Team Paradise racing Corujo goes #4 with a nice run while Villanueva launches and shuts it off

Dennis Perez 8.16 @ 133
Javier Sanchez N/T @

Sanchez is pushed off after the burnout while Perez bogs off the line and then gets about 1000 ft and sparks fly and he shuts it down and word is the transmission blew up inside the car and the parts exited thru the passenger side window causing glass to go on the track

Roberto Vazquez 7.58 @ 184
#2465 8.07 @ 132

Vazquez with a decent run while the car in the right which we don't have entered in the system yet was off the throttle at the top end based on the mph

Jazz Perez 11.72 @ 62
Samuel Melendez 10.40 @ 83

Perez made a move toward the center then Melendez gets loose and up on two wheels as maybe he jerked the wheel as he saw Perez gets close to him and both drivers coast

Juan Illanas 6.95 @ 193
Jose Martinez 9.02 @ 125

1.02 60 for Illanas in the Rx-8 was hauling the mail and is the first import car to dip in the 6's and goes behind Demarco in qualifying while Martinez car was sluggish getting out of the gate

Miguel Marrero 7.33 @ 158
#532 7.87 @ 170

No info on the driver in the right while Marrero had the wheels high in the air and gets to the top and end and is hugging the wall and gets off the throttle early as that car was on a run

Rafael Fuentes 9.95 @ 60
Sal Patel N/T @

Patel goes 4.96 to the 1/8th and spins around and crashes hard into the left wall luckily the other driver misses him in a wild wild ride

Pedro Marrero N/T @
Steve Drummond 7.01 @ 207

Drummond in the street car goes #3 with the Camaro almost dipping into the 6 second range. Marrero on the other hand had the chute pop out on the line

Luis Rivera 8.64 @ 84
Jose Diaz 10.19 @ 48

Rivera gets towards the top end and gets dangerously close to the wall and pulls the chutes and from what I can see he didn't touch the wall but Diaz in the right lane went right towards the wall then over corrected and comes back across the track and made contact with the left wall right behind Rivera

Terris Hicks 18.30 @ 47

Hicks car was puffing smoke on the line and left very lazy and popped and stopped

Al Marlow N/T @
Luke Wilson @

Marlow shuts it off after the burnout not sure why and Wilson launches and bogs then doesn't shift and then he pulls over

Luis Ferrer Jr N/T @

Ferrer briefly pulls over at 1000' then drives off while Forbes left hard in the Supra but looks like brake lights before 1320

Daniel Bianchi 22.56 @ 41
Carey Bales 20.92 @ 44

Bales immediately goes hard left on the hit and not sure what happened to Bianchi but he didn't have much luck either getting off the starting line and they both coast

Carter in the nitrous Supra puts it down thru the quarter while Rosario was on and off the gas hugging the centerline

 

Carey is such a sandbagger.
