Drag week

[Baron Von Crowder]

This week has got me really wanting to take the Buick on drag week instead of power tour next year. I feel like I could safely get it into the 13's all week and have a good time. thoughts?

I've done both.

I would say do the power tour, and then do drag week. Power tour is much less stress to get to the next city, and a ton more people doing it to drive with. If it will make it on the power tour without much issue, then you can worry about drag week.

big wreck just happened

8.509. He's in first with that i think.

John decided to crank up the boost and run it out the back door everyday, turning in a 20 timeslip for the rest of the week. He ran a 8.04 this morning.

James in the ls coupe just ripped an 8.50 exactly.

Did y'all see that Tesla run a 10.4? its going to be interesting following him this week.

yeah, that is interesting. The cruises are like 2-300 miles a day.

Yeah, coverage ended about 15 min ago.. No second pass and they said there was essentially no way for John to get into the top 8 now..

the joke is that the Street race small block power adder class is limited to an 8.500 time slip since you cant have a funny car cage in the class rules. It's one of the larges classes, and the competition is really tough. There's no "dial in" on the class, but john put it on since that's pretty much what you have to run to win the class. Randall won it last year with an AVERAGE of 8.53 for the week.

sadly, John was in for the win this year, and it ran a bit faster than he needed to, so without a slip, he has to take a 20, and that knocked him out of the top ten for sure. That class gets a special entry to the NHRA even in Charlotte, and he probably wont get in to that now.

they told him no, the oil down early killed any chance of that.

Damn, that sucks

Yeah. Hopefully there is some time once they get everyone down the lanes for a second run if he can talk them into it. Shit, I'd be out there drying cars to help try and speed it up!!

James runs at about 2:25 on the video. Looks like john is a few cars behind him.

Edit:

John runs a 5.46, breaking out. If they only get 1 run, his time slip will read 20 seconds :/

Found them, thanks!

8.67 @ 160.6


John ran 8.46 @ 164.61 but dialed in 8.51..




They were commenting on the fact that he wrote his dial-in on his glass..
