Pro tree with .5 light. Yes, I hauled a little over 1500 mi. each way, in addition to me, Wayne Smothers came up from the Tulsa area and I think he pulled 1500 mi. each way also. If you ever thought Okies were a little strange, this should confirm it; Apparently on the way through New York City, Wayne decided to take an auto tour of the Big Apple, this would not be a big deal, except for the fact that he was towing that brand new 69' Super Bee on an open trailer around Times Square on Friday afternoon before the race.

Okies, go figure.

I wouldn't try anything like that in Detroit. In fact, I'm not sure you could even make it across Detroit in one piece in a Hummer. Sherman tank, maybe.

Rob:

That pic of the two vettes just has to be on the cover of some magazine. That's awesome.

Pete:

So what's JJ going to build next? I know he was really anxious for this meet. He called me a full week early when he got his dates mixed up and was all loaded up and waiting for me.

Man, I can't wait to see these cars in person on Friday

Hey! I'm not a real Okie, my family moved there when I was 8 years old!

Well, Wayne backed up hit 10.97 with a 10.99 ad collected the Year One money......

Terry Pennington won the FAST over Wayne in the finals, and it was Jimmy Johnson over COPO Pete in the F/S finals...

[Chevy454]

Nice...congrats to Wayne for taking home the cash, congrats to Big Dog for taking the win, and congrats to the Canuck gang for the 1-2 finish in Factory Stock!

Oh, and congrats to the rest of you hosers, too...

I see that SuperBees are going 12.08 at 113 now days. What gives? I wonder when the powers that be will step in and say enough is enough? Pure Stockers at 12.08 and the FAST guys can't even get them to go that fast! This may be the beginning of the end to anything close to the real deal! I'm waiting for even some of the MOPAR guys to scream foul but I may be holding my breath for a long time.

I heard about the 12.08 timeslip and wondered a little myself. What were the 60' , 330' , & 1/8th mile times? The best time I've beat out of my Hemi Challenger has been 11.95 / 121 mph. That was with a 3850lb, 4spd car, making 667 hp at the crank. My heater, wipers, and all four 11" drum brakes, were on the car, and in working order.
I am not as surprised with the L88 vettes though, the pure stock rules were not written for them, but they may as well have been. Wayne Nelson and I, discussed at length, the advantages of L88/L89 and even LS6 Vettes in FAST racing. The advantages are obvious and too numerous to list. Unless someone offers a $50K purse for the winner of a FAST event, I'll just keep on doing the Don Quioxte routine with my fat elephant.
