Way to go Silas.  It would seem that you are the only one that posted a time.  I'm sure others did as well (as seen by Alan's video) but what were the times on Friday night?  Who did what and what went BOOM?  I've heard rumours but as I wasn't there I'm relying on ya'll to inform me.

Who did what and what went BOOM?  I've heard rumours but as I wasn't there I'm relying on ya'll to inform me.

because i was racing i didnt catch all the passes, but from what i recall...

matt davis ran a high 10 in the promod
alan u ran low 12's all night
jim martin ran high 11's all night
chris (1976bus) got a low 13
kevin (1600sp turbo) got a high 14
fred got a low 13
the v8 beetle did a 10-something
all the cars and drivers in the stock motor challenge got faster as the night went on and were also consistent with times (future in bracket racing perhaps?)

carlos (in the SMC) broke his accelerator cable, fixed it in the pits, and went out a made a few more passes.

ember and her dad bruce (also in the SMC) got a flat in the lanes and had to turn back to the pits.

something nasty happened to james turbo on his fastest pass of the night.

bruce tweddle had a chip go south in the staging lanes and had to get pushed back (car is fine tho).

darren krewenchuk blew up his clutch because the cross-eyed track official couldnt guide him into the burnout box properly.

i know alot more people raced and alot more happened, so hopefully other folks will chime in.

Yup on my best pass of the night I had to shut it down prior to hitting the traps - still ran a 12.3 @ 102 - but lost my carbon seal in my turbo....

11's here I come - Look out Jim your going to get bumped!
