We have yet another new winner in the Quick 8.
Congratulations goes to JLWS6 for winning todays event. Nice job JL. Your car ran strong all day!

We had a beautiful fall day today. Couldn't ask for better weather conditions.
We had our first crash today. Jim with his Cartek built 427 Camaro bounced off the wall on his first pass today. Very unfortunate ,but he's ok and the car escaped with a roughed up Quarter panel. Glad he's ok.
Edgar had to leave early so he never made it to eliminations
Kyle ran a new best of 10.55 @ 130 1.50 60'. Nice job Kyle rowing gears.
Barry ran a 9.95 @ 138 1.30 60'. Nice wheels up and no broken pan this time.Nice job.
Mark ran 9.68.N/A. Terrific job Mark with all the Nitrous cheaters you were up against.
JL of course won with his 9.53@ 142. Congrats on your win.
Charles had more problems ending with a flat tire. Hang in there buddy. It's got to get
better!
Larry was fighting cluch problems but managed a 10.6. Way to stay with it.
Chef came down with JL. Thanks for coming Rob. Hope you had a good time.
Steve ran his usuall 1000' passes and let off. Time for the broken record. PUT A CAGE
IN IT!!!! Glad to see ya Steve. We love picking on you.

A special thanks to my close friend Brian and his wife Jen for coming. Brian is a U.S. Air Marshall and leads a VERY busy schedule.

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Congratulations to all.

I had a great time today, and I only wish I had made it to a couple of these events earlier in the season.

Thanks everyone, and thank you Barry for having a place for us to do some heads up all out racing, I think this class really has some potential to grow!

JL Vs. Silver Camaro
Hey - NJ 2002 Z28, that was me in the Silver Camaro.
Thanks for the Video, I thought it was pretty good actually.
You can hear the announcer perfectly!
My run against JL is cut off at the end?
Is that from editing or did she just turn off the camera too soon?
I would like to get a copy of that video somehow?
