Was cold, damp, & windy, but after Friday's rain out it was nice to *finally* get on the track...but, out of my 8-10 runs, probably 1/2 of them were wasted passes because of wheelspin...a little sunshine would've been nice to put some heat in the track, but oh well, you gotta work with what ya got. Anyway, made 3 passes in the 11.7s, with a best of 11.75 @ 118+...was wanting more, but I had to be gingerly @ the line or else it got ugly in a hurry...thought the car had 11.6s (or better) in it since I went 11.73 here at our local track, but never could make it happen. I drew the #1 qualifier in eliminations...I dropped an .046 light on him (on a pro-tree no less!), and he thanked me by running his personal best 11.34...Camaros were never meant to outrun Corvettes, and he promptly reminded me of that!
Enough rambling, here's the quick-8 qualifying order for the Factory Stock class:
#1 - Larry Weymouth, L88 Corvette, 11.34 @ 120
#2 - Julie Pennington, L88 Corvette, 11.40 @ 120
#3 - Scott Tiemann, RA2 Firebird, 11.62 @ 116
#4 - Pete Simpson, ZL1 Camaro, 11.63 @ 116
#5 - Rob Clary, Yenko Camaro, 11.75 @ 118
#6 - Wayne Nelson, 428 Mustang, 12.39 @ 110
#7 - Bruno Beltraine, RAIV GTO, 12.36 @ 115 (later went 12.20)
#8 - Jim Mino, RA2 Firebird, 12.49 @ ???
Gotta congratulate "Big Dog" for his record setting 10.30 pass...scary thing is, the car *wiggled* a tad off the line, so there's more ET in it!
