We had one of THE best days to-date for racing! It was a great day.

Darryl made a couple of passes and seems to have his problem figured as a bad battery, so the day paid off for him.

Met Ian from Iowa who brought his small 16g DSM down from a 14.7 to a best of 14.1 for the day.

Josh's Mustang made a bunch of runs with a best of 11.04 @ 124mph and a 1.5 60 ft. time on 93 octane and 12 pounds of boost. The car was very fast and sounded great, but it didn't come off the line like we expected. He's running the same suspension as Skaggs who 60 ft's 1.3's, but the turbo set-up just isn't making the torque off the line. Still he's very happy with the results as well as the drivability of a 525whp turbo car. He even let me make an 11.5 @ 124mph pass in it. I didn't have the cajones to launch it, so I was pretty impressed that it still ran the number.

There were 4-5 9 second cars ripping down the track all day long. Steve powers made numerous passes in his 10 second TA without any breakage. The Racers Edge guys were on hand with their cars. AJ was having some trouble getting the Cuda to launch, but that didn't stop him from runing 10's every pass. The WS6 hit an 11.9 with his new suspension set-up. Nick brought out his sweet Nova for tuning running down 10's like clock work. The SRT-4 boys got their ride down to a very impressive 12.0 with a wicked sounding burn out on every run. There was even a PT cruiser ripping down the track in 13 seconds of glory.

My favorite car of the day was probably the 1969 Mach1 with the very stock 306 even though his best run was a 15.1

There were only 19 cars that came to take advantage of the perfect race day and only two of them were DSM's. Because of that they all pretty much had the track to run by them selves any time they wanted. It was beautiful and I got quite a bit of video. I will try to get a vid put together soon.

HUGE thanks goes out to Ryan Skaggs for providing $50 gift certificates from Mieneke Muffler for the runners up in the fastest street car class and $50 gift certificates from RLS Racing Nitrous Express for the fastest street car and Fastest race car!

Thanks to all those that came out and made it such a great day, that's what it's all about right there!
