Gates open at 7am, racing starts at 9. I'm probably going to be there, Aaron says he's going.

Me and my girl went yesterday. There were a few badasss thirdgens in attendance, including Izcain's. We saw him make two great runs but he was DQ'd for an early jump on the second one. I hope to have some pictures posted by tonight. Two 4thgens, a Z28 and Trans Am battled each other in the top 8. The Z had a 383 cid LS with a turbo but lost to the T/A which had nitrious but I don't know what else. There was a sweet wheel-standing C4 'Vette in the final two, but he lost to a '70 Chevelle. There was alot of filler between rounds (semi-truck racing and such) that I could have done without, but we still had a blast. Cool

Were you up in the grandstands someplace John? I spent most of the time on the fence behind the burnout box. Best seat in the house, except you gotta stand. It was a really good place to be for the jet cars. Very Happy

We were on the tower side just past the tree, second row. Great seats!

Here's the "arm drop" in question where he left early. HMM, to me it looks like the GTO left early...

Some more pics and the link to the album

Nice. That was about where Al was taking pictures.

BTW, that T/A that made top-four was pretty nice. I was standing right behind where they had him parked. He had full interior and everything. Fuel cell was in the cargo well, and he had a full cage.

The Chevelle that had starter trouble must have been either flooded, or heat soaked, because I didn't see them do anything to the car before it fired.

*edit: lol Al ninja'd me. Some good pics, man.

On the pic of the launch are you sure his arms are on the downswing, or coming back up? From my view it did look like a jump (sorry, Zac).

Looks like Al was right about where we were. That 'Vette was awesome!!! Cool

In the drivers meeting he said "If I move my head or arm, or any part of me flinches after my arms are up YOU GO!" I did exactly as he asked since I watched him flinch and his head start to move. I talked with Kail Christensen and he agreed with the photo Al took but said there was nothing that they could do since the 16 were all picked out.

Either way I had a great time! I just wished that they wouldn't tell the racers that is he moves to go since obviously he is only wanting people to leave on the drop of the arm.

I took my dad there Saturday and had a good time. Met izcain and his Z28 just a few mins before his qualifying run. You could probably hear me booing his DQ call. Anyways I had fun and now I'm trying to convice my dad to get his C4 to wheelie like that.

We want to start on our Z and get it into condition for that but I have to get the tranny working right on the bird first.
