Factory Stock/Stock Appearing race, May 23, 2003

Well, I'm hopefully heading out in the morning. Looks like there is gonna be some killer air, especially if the barometer will cooperate.

If anyone is gonna be in the Martin, MI, area Friday, look me up!

GREAT EVENT!

Pete and JJ took 1-2 honors in the quick-8 of Factory Stock. I think Pete's best was a 12.09@114+ and JJ's was a 12.23@113+...it was nice to have Chevrolet representing the top 2 spots. I won my best of 3 shootout against a Stage 1, and ran a best of 12.87@106+. Smallhurst also won his shootout on his '69 H/O, running against a GTS, and ran his best ET ever with a 13.87(?)@???. Terry (BIG DOG) made it to "I believe" the final 4 of the Stock Appearing cars, and was in the hunt of quickest ET of the event with a 11.4 at I think 123(?)...I'm not exactly sure what happened on his runs, because I missed all but his qualifying runs. I'm probably close on the times, but you guys feel free to correct me.

It was a good time, except for the rain, but it gave us time to relax and visit with everyone so it worked out. Martin is an awesome facility!

Now, time to prepare for Norwalk...

Rob,

Thanks again for the lift up to MI. I am going to try to talk my way into going up to Stanton. Yeah, the car ran great and I had a lot of fun, I might have to try to get some more tuning done to make the 3.23 gears pay off in the top end! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Rusty:

No problem on the lift...I was glad I could help! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Let me know if you can't get something lined out for Stanton as I may have an extra slot in the trailer. I'll have to wait and see how the Nova comes along.

So if you get the Nova going, who's driving? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Since Yenko put the 427s in the Novas then it won't be PSMCDR legal, so it will only be for "exhibition". As for the driver, can you say "Ebay"!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Hope dad doesn't read this thread...
