Yea it was awsome, its to bad that Chevelle couldn't hook worth **** otherwise it would have been more fun to watch. He also almost lost it in that last run he did. And what happened to the rumors of that 69 having a blown LS2?

The Chevelle was a throttle stop car set-up to compete-in that 10.90 dial-in class (forgot the name). I suspect that the car hooked fine when the electronics fed the power gradually so the car ran the number (10.90), but when he tried to go flat out... no traction. The owner didn't do his homework!

Nobody else had problems hooking, that vette carried the wheels for a good 25-30 feet on each run and in both lanes. As did both cars in the first race.

Well like I hear from a lot of complainers, "Seattle has no traction..."
Hmmm....and as you can see by the crowd this was just a regular night...(Brad, of coarse)

Out-run I could take. I'd have NO issue getting beat by a faster car....

I couldn't agree more, seems like the racers come off looking like whiners. I think they should switch the format to 1st pass heads up using the tree, and negotiate time on the tree after the first pass. Let the drivers cut lights, and stop negotiating on power adders and car lengths. Might not be as good TV, but would make the races better.

I think that was his problem, he probably never tried wide open blasts out of the hole. Plus, if he indeed did have worn out tires on the car that's not gonna help much either. That last run he was all over the track. I thought for sure he was gonna stuff it in the wall.
