    It was awesome. Day 2 was even better. Jay's second run of 11.77 was enough to get him advanced. But, they didn't pick his class. Cliff went out in the second round with voltage trouble. His voltage regulator went out. Fun was had by all in attendance. Pictures to follow later.....

    Hope everyone who raced and watched had a good time... :thumbs2:

    thanks for posting the phone vids... cars still sound pretty awesome and yeah... it DOES look like it's leaving pretty hard... wow Jimmy...

    Cliff sez he had a blast... wish I could have at least come to spectate... overcast but not too hot by the looks of it?... I suppose that's ideal for racing.

    Hope to see more VIDS.... I wanna see & hear more of them racing vids!!!

    Whisky... hoping for a 'next time'.... :cry:
