Well it was a day made for racing. Low temps, low humidity made for great times.

Winner of lowest e.t in a Cobra went to xbunch (Dick) in his 03 Sonic Blue Cobra convertible with time of 13.927 at 106.63 mph. Not bad for a rookie! He was followed closely by Parja (Jason) in his True Blue 01 Cobra with a time of 13.974 at 101.93 mph. We unfortunately lost some Cobra competitors because of time constraints due to an extended track clean up of oil.

Winner of the Lightning low e.t went to JSlimJeff (Jeff) in his juiced 01 Silver L with a time of 12.68 at 112.31 mph :o At a distant second was my (Chris) red 01 with a time of 13.213 at 105.94 mph.

The fastest reaction time of the shootout went to animal (Dave) as he cut a .636 light in his black 01 L. He was followed closely by, and previous r.t. winner, Ranger Reality (Mark) in my red 93 Cobra with a .639.

A big thank you to Greg for his help in getting this event off the ground and his assitance all day at the track to help move things along in a timely fashion. Except for the wingnut that oiled the ENTIRE track and shut it down for well over an hour, it was a great time.

Most of the cars lined up at the end of the day. Note the lone GM product on the end (HITMAN) which ran very respectable mid 13\'s all day.

Thanks to all that came out (Milw96Cobra, where were you?) :( and to those who didn\'t/couldn\'t make to either drag event this year, be sure to get out to one next year. Take it from a first timer, and class winner xbunch, it\'s a blast!!!

Yeah, great time except for that hour plus waiting for Mr. Wingnut\'s clean-up. What a tool. Did anyone ask Greg if they got a chance to give that guy a proper flogging and lifetime ejection from the grounds?

Hey all.. Was good to see everyone, it was a hectic day for me as usual... Yea, we could have tied that guy to the bumper of the track truck and dragged him down the track a few times if I had anything to say about it.. :mad: I\'m sure it was a bummer for you guys to wait, but at least you didn\'t have to clean it up.. :D

I hope the time change didn\'t mess anyone up, it looked like you all had a pretty good time regardless.

Nice writeup Chris!

I\'ve been REALLY busy working on SVTOA National projects, sorry I didn\'t respond sooner...
