2007 SCDC Review Options

[awd4kicks]

Today was a great day for those who were able to come out to race!

We didn't have that many people show-up, but thankfully we had just enough to cover the cost of the track. Plus it made for a wide open track for as many runs as anyone could possibly fit in.

Rev Hard showed up with a surprise set of gift certificates for the winner's of each class. Thanks go out to Trent and the others of Rev Hard. They have a shop up in the Quad Cities with a brand new AWD dyno. They were there running there 600+ HP 2G DSM. Very cool and they are going to help make next years SCDC!

I also met up with the owner of Midwest Turbo(?) Is this right Trent? Sorry I didn't remember everyones names. He is also interested in helping us with next years SCDC.

Racer's Edge Midwest made a showing with the Big Red Dodge. AJ ran a 14 second pass with the Nitrous on the 7000+ pound rig! It sounds like Racers edge may help out with next years SCDC as well.

We ran three competition classes... No one showed up for the Quick 16.

Street Stock FWD:
George Jackman won 1st place in his Silver SRT-4 with a best of 12.178 @ 118mph
Josh Gale placed 2nd with his silver SRT-4 with a best of 13.374 @ 109mph
Seth Score earned an honorable mention in his 2G DSM with a best of 13.743 @ 106

Seth ended up popping an axle seal but he was a good sport and had a nice looking 2G. George's SRT-4 sounded wicked every time he ripped off the line with his fatties on front.

Street Stock AWD/RWD:
Kapoosh won 1st place with a best of 13.261 @ 105 in his new EVO against Chris Lang's 92 Eagle Talon that hit 13.935 @ 102 in that run. Chris placed second.
AJ red lighted in his Big red Dodge in the first round against Kapoosh. Chris eaked out a VERY close race against Geoff Burns in the first round, winning by a nose while running a13.066 @ 108.

Street Modified:
George Bohren - aka: Streetsweeper took 1st place in his 90 Eagle Talon with a 12.107 @ 121 against the only other competitor in this bracket Nilite Sardis with his super charged 2003 350Z. Both were beautiful cars!

All first place winners received a $100 gift certificate from AMS as well as a $100 dyno tuning gift certificate from Rev Hard.

All second place finishers received a $50 gift certificate from AMS and a $50 dyno tuning gift certificate from Rev Hard.

The Street Sweeper crew showed up with about fourteen crew members and spectators. That is one of the cleanest DSM's I've seen in a long time! Good job guys.

We had a couple bad rides knocking out 8.60 quarter mile passes. One was a yellow Fox body Mustang and the other was a 4th generation Firebird. Wicked Rides!

Little Danny was there in his white and blue Fox Body. He ran good on the motor and excellent on nitrous! I lucked out and beat him on one of his slower motor passes!

I made eleven passes in the talon. I never broke out of the 12's but I did get a new best and CURRENT quarter mile time 12.03 @ 118mph! There are a number of issues that I need to work out, but the good news is that I beat the snot out of the car eleven times and it made every run and I drove it home afterwards!!! I've been waiting for this day for quite a while.

Thanks to everyone that came out to enjoy the great day of racing we had. And special thanks goes out to the Cordova Dragway crew who always makes us feel welcome and keeps things running smoothly and professionally. And finally, thank you to AMS and Rev Hard for the racing awards! Oh and thanks to Mitsu90 and NCGalant for helping me get my Talon running good enough for SCDC.

Don't forget I am renting the track again on July 29th for Slo Pny Drag Day.

For a much larger turnout next year I suggest not doing it in mid/late may because SO many people had high school/college graduations to attend.....
