Steven J:

Our run was nothing exceptional, like a 14.1, with a crappy short time (2.20). We have known for a while that is was jetted WAAAAY too big from a previous race, but have yet to change it, which hurt us pretty bad. It loaded up to the point that right before the run, I didn't think it was going to start. Even the camera guy riding with me didn't think it was going to start! The burnout didn't even help clean it out! Then on the run, it took off pretty lazy, then finally started making progress about 3500+ or so. But, that's racing, and I plan to have it in tip-top shape hopefully by this weekend, when we start dialing in the "new" L-72 for the trip to Michigan.

By the way, did anyone tape any of the Supercars running at Gateway? Those of us in the staging lanes missed it, and my brother's camcorder ran out of tape...DOH!

We cross this bridge every year, and every year we aren't 100% sure how to handle the non-Supercars. We would love to see the "Musclecar Corral" part of the show grow, but that part of the show gets neglected as we focus most of our attention on the Supercars. When I've brought my musclecars in the past ('69 L-78 Chevelle and '70 LS-6 Chevelle) I've been outside, and didn't mind, as did many of the others. But, what if like this year, you only have a few musclecars, and some room left inside? Or, an owner brings BOTH a Supercar AND a Musclecar? From what I gather, most everyone feels the Supercars need to have first shot at being parked inside, but after that is when everyone has a different view. But, we've also had some tell us that ONLY the Supercars need to be inside. We don't have all the answers, and are ALWAYS open to suggestions!

Nice re-cap, Charlie! It was nice to finally meet you and your son!
