Warren won his 1st round match-up running an impressive 209mph. He went on to the second round and shook the tires forcing him to lift.
Kurt lost in the 1st rd sleeping on the tree.

It's Jeggie and Jason Line in the finals.

I was there. First session no one else went 207 and WJ did it with Kurt only a hundredth behind. Was good to see the GA boys getting good times down.

The Sugar Hill boys have definatly found some horsepower over the winter. WJ's new GXP is really working, and it's showing some major MPH on the big end.

I think the warm/sunny track conditions Sunday threw alot of the crew cheifs a curve ball. Some were able to make the proper adjustments to get down the track, where as others struggled with the set-up.

It's the Wiseco sticker on the front.....we went to a golfball dimpled pattern this year and it's breaking up the boundary layer.

It seems Warren has some concerns about the down force that the rear wicker spoiler is producing on the new GXP on the top end.
