Alex (#1 son) snapped this photo of BP launch... I was more than impressed at how hard it launched - and how straight! No fuss no muss - just flat azz getting after it.
In looking at the pictures posted -- I happened to notice this first picture - previously posted - of Tanner Faust doing an impressive burnout.... and noticed that ALEX was taking a picture from the REAR view (he's in this first picture with a camera up to his eye...Just behind the first BIG CONE) and thought it gave an interesting perspective! LOL - cough cough - gag - man I love the smell of burning rubber!!
I was very happy with the Penny's performance in the 0-60-0. The car launched so good that I'm really dying to get to a drag strip. Can I use Hoosier A6s as drag tires?
I "think" our best time was a 7.3 or 7.4 .. not bad for no ABS. Also, because I'm old and slow my event was really the 0-64-0 lol

Pretty simple deal, the cars with the best times should finish accordingly. If its a car show then so be it. Kinda ridiculous really. Don't need explanations or sugar coats, #'s are numbers.
When after a race you need explanations, that's all you need to know.
I agree. Fastest car in all events should win. Otherwise what's the point?

Yep -- since it's by invite only -- why invite someone and then shove their nose in the dirt... You saw/knew the car when you invited it to participate!
It's like -- Let me beat on my half million dollar car -- for FREE... win... and then someone doesn't like the color I painted it... Uh... sure!
Having said all that - and my opinion means NOTHING - it was and is a great event!

They just need to be sure of who/what they are inviting.. having us go agains SCCA track cars really doesn't help make the point they are trying to make.
Don't worry.. it will all be fixed though
