Well, I think it's safe to say that Larry(Pain) holds the wheel stand from hell record now! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
And I got it on video! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
I'll have to get someone to convert it into a mpeg file for me cause I don't know how to do that, but as soon as I get that done I'll post it up for all to see.
It's awesome!

I heard the SAM SS ran 9.75 at 138mph in qualifying. BeaSSt ran 9.90s at 135mph with its new SAM motor. Madman was in the 8s with his nitrous injected LT1 car. Colonel didn't make the trip (motor didn't get tuned in time).

Please see my post "Madman did it!".

Hi guys, I just signed up! I'm looking forward to being here. When Cody calls me back, I'll find out how Coach did and post that information.

Allan Futral of Futral Motorsports won the MS/M class, with Tim Herrington in his 95 Formula taking the runner up position. Allan's time was 10.92 @ 126.23 mph, Allan was running 10.87-10.90's all day. Tim's time was 11.73 @ 121.08 mph. Tim was running 11.0's all day, but in the final run against Allan, Tim decided to launch at a higher rpm and it cost him because he spun.
Congrats Allan on first place and congrats to Tim for getting the runner up spot with just a lil' ole LT1. Good race guys!

Mike Hoffpauir won the SS/A class, with Trevor Doelling taking the runner up position.
Mikes time was 11.29 @ 118.28 mph, to Trevors 11.41 @ 116.85 mph. I'm not sure, but I think Trevor treed Mike which made the race very close at the finish line.
IMO, this race turned out to be the best heads up race of the day.
Congrats Mike on the win, and you too Trevor for taking the runner up spot!
GREAT RACE guys!

And if I remember correctly I think Tony W. even took home a trophy for runner up spot in the brackets. Good job Tony!

I got all kinds of video footage, Monday I'm gunna give the tapes to JSears and have him pick out the best ones to add to his videos he shot today and I think he's going to combine them all on to one tape, maybe Justin will chime in here and tell what hes going to do.
Also I'm going to get Justin to get Larry Cato's (Pain) footage of his wheelstand and convert it into a mpeg file for me so I can post it up asap, because I know you guys just can't wait to see it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Alan Futral won the modified stock manual, against a valiant effort in the finals from an under powered LT1 (95Formula) that was bumping 10's all day but couldn't break the 11.doht's

Mike Hoffpauir won street stock automatic, with an awesome race between he and Trevor in the finals.

I think Harlan won the modified stock power adder

Judsen won pro stock

9ball was first runner up in the brackets

**** I can't remember everything, it has been long two days, but others can fill in or correct me if I am wrong.

The event was well organized and well run, the anouncer lept things rolling and very entertaining. There was a very large crown, I would guess about 200 people in the stands and along the fence and about another 100 or so in the pits.

I can tell everyone that even though we have been ragging Joe Kizzire, he did a hell of a job today and Angie and Geoff put on a great Shootout! I know a lot of people voluntered to help and they put in a long day today, they all deserve a lot of praise for a job well done.

The BeaSSt got runner up in Pro Stock, she riled up on the launch, bounced, put a hairline crack in the oil pan, but Pat from SAM was driving and he didn't let out, the car never settled back down, bounced through the 1000' mark... A little tuning on the suspension and we'll see you in 9.60 seconds <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Yeah, it was a GREAT day!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of us were a bit tired from the nite before, but what the hell.

Angie and Geoff Skinner deserve a big hand for putting on this race which turned out awesome.
Joe Kizzire deserves a hand also for making everything run smooth.

For those that were running, I saw each one of ya'll at least 5 times yesterday. I was the one pulling ya'll to the starting line. Sorry I didn't get much of a chance to meet many. I did get to meet several new faces including Vince from Florida. If he would have smarted off one more time to me Friday nite, I woulda reached up and punched him square in the kneecap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> That is one BIG dude.
