The car show needs a different format. Really, one catagory and one prize for every car ever built with a LS motor ? $75.00 wasted on a car show only one person had a chance to win. For that kinda coin everyone showing should have at least had a chance for their car catagory. There was a class for everything else, Hell I should have thrown my 402 thats in the shop in the bed of our truck and called it under construction, I would've stood a better chance of winning.

So your telling me guy in Cali and tech guy is wrong? He said I could (and could use his name) but could not touch laptop after ready line. I was maybe 8 cars back when u told me that. Lets say u are right y was I allowed to run this all weekend. Just dont make any sense. So what about prestaging and turning on both bulbs.
Like I said Look at the rule book it's there.

I didn't like the fact that I got there Friday at 3:00 and they told me true street test and tune was over then Saturday I got to make one pass before the cruise so basically it cost $75 to make one pass because a ujoint gave out on the cruise where as if I had of been able to test Friday I could've changed it out by Saturday And would've been able to finish the event

Like most events TnT tapers off as we get through the weekend.... A lot the first day, less the next, none at the end. I suggest getting in Thursday night, and you will have plenty of times to make TnT hits friday night.
The racers deeply appreciated that Holley had Scott Wittwer coming by and giving us updates on when we would run again.
I think it also worked really well having all of the longer enclosed rigs in the back row.

NEVER once did Scott come over to my pit area. I saw him saturday when I was in Marks pit area and asked him to come by our pit area and keep us informed. He never once came by, there were 4 of us pitting together. Between the crap intercom speakers and NO communication from Scott I had to stand and watch for one of my competitors going to the lanes to find out when I was running. A far cry from the wonderful communication we recieved in Georgia
Thats what I did, tuned the radio and listened for my class. I had fun really cant complain except for when I was trying park. They told me to look for a guy on a green golf cart. It took me almost an hour to find him driving around in the pits. I was just happy that the car drove on the trailer under its on power.

Really this is what NHRA says.
9:1 COMPUTER (December 13, 2010)
2nd paragraph
During NHRA competition, no a portable computer (e.g., laptop, PDA, Palm Pilot, programmer, etc.) must be securely mounted when may be installed or located in a vehicle driver’s compartment at any point beyond the staging area ready line. All functions or values must be pre-set prior to this point.

There is a amendment to that rule. understand there is no hard feeling here just wanting to know about what rules are.

Really dont know where u got that because never was said by me. All I said to lane guy was I thought F was running F and E was running E on so on. Yes laptop is going be in car because I log ever pass. NHRA says I can so I will.
I had a blast..I cant wait for next year. Made my first 10 sec passes..had a lot of guys checking my heap out. Everyone was really laid back and pretty cool. Also A LOT of other things to do like the Vette plant, Museum, Mammoth Cave..Cant wait!! A lot of my friends missed out and plan to go next year!
