I did see the 409 run briefly, it was in the lane next to me. Didn't catch much after I passed him. LOL

Must have run pretty good, I think I ran a 12.1 or so on that pass at 116... it was a fun race, much more challenging than racing Charley - yawn.

Thanks Bruce. I've enjoyed every one of your photos, even though I kinda lean toward the big cars. Perhaps someone who ran alongside him has saved their time slip.

Thanks for the extra photos of the car Rick. I also loved seeing "your" sign on display. Having Mark's '68 in front of it was the PERFECT setting!!

Verne I talked to him for a while . He came with a buddy in a Roman red or Honduras maroon (can't remember) , Grey interior 61 Impala with SS trim on it...348/350 4 speed !! The 09 was running low 12's I'm sure but has been in the 11's...lots of real aluminum on the car...he was sorting thru some AFB stuff between runs...it was an automatic.

The one run I do have on video that I can see the timing tower shows 12.18@119 Kinda blurry but I think that's what it says
