yes Dunc....1000ft, but all TF run that now....everything else is still 1320, even injected N/A on Nitro rails....so now they are still kabooming parts but at a 1000ft now, but less often, and sometimes you can actually get through a field of 8 cars without much track clean up.!!

Yep, saw it 8-)

"She Devil" ran a "5" and some of the Bikes were exceeding 200mph as well. Brilliant day's racing..............also the fastest Methonol side by side pass ever.....

There was a lot of sportsman classes that got bumped out the show because of the pro class oil downs ect! But we know that will always happen

Understood.

It was interesting that on Sunday Pro-ET seemed to be full of Cherries and breakouts - what was that all about????

In the first round of Pro-Et I red lit, broke out, broke down and still won it :D

A win is a win.

I wondered if it was because they had prepped the track and people were running better than anticipated.....

yes Pete, exactly that, the track was so good on Sunday with a nice amount of heat in it. I only experienced it once on the last ever few runs with the '69....it always hooked well, but one time it hooked so hard the screws came out the bracket on the rev counter which ended up in my lap!!....99% sure that run would've been a 10.5 with a low 1.4 60ft....we'll never know. :cry:
