Rainy day? Stuck at work? Drag Week feed
 

And Day 4 is upon us, and brings a shake up to the leaderboard in the Unlimited class! Larry Larson had trouble getting a clean pass in his '66 ChevyII yesterday while Jeff Lutz in his '57 BelAir laid down a 7.002 @ 212! So Lutz takes the overall lead with a 7.06 @ 212mph average while Larson slides to a 7.11 @ 198mph average, with Tom Bailey in his '69 Camaro creeping up with a 7.33 @ 189mph average [somewhere on the backroads of Arkansas in the middle of the night Tom had a rocker fail, so he's scrambling to find a replacement in time to make the call on Thursday]. If they all made the horrendous drive last night and can survive tonight's drive back to Tulsa then tomorrow will be an absolute slugfest!

Yep! I think this years route is 1600 miles? And it's not hop on the interstate and boogie, the Hot Rod staff picks your exact route and hands you the directions as you leave each track, and it's mostly off the map backroads, with distinct landmarks you are required to get your car photographed with. The road was so rough on the first leg that one car had it's front cross member ripped out...

No problem, Bruce! This event is on my list of things to do...just need a gameplan![img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Day 5, and the 2 leaders in Unlimited both had some work to do yesterday! Larson broke the center section out of his 9&quot; yesterday so he had to swap it and Lutz broke a shaft rocker...as of yesterday, there is only .02 of a second separating the 2 cars! So the return trip to Tulsa and the last day of racing should turn out to be the best yet...only problem is that it's raining, and looks to continue to rain until early afternoon, but the crew at Tulsa Raceway Park says they'll keep the lights on until the event is finished so the cars may run into and through the wee hours of the night!

With that said, here's the Day 5 feed, but I doubt racing won't kick off until 1pm CST or later today...

A good example: this is Jeff Lutz *near* his last checkpoint on the final drive to Tulsa last night...he posted this at <span style="font-weight: bold">2:53am</span>! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]

They're waiting on a light rain to stop in Tulsa, and then to dry the track, so if they can get things squared away you folks with internet access @ home can watch the action from your recliners tonight! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
