Old fashion heads up racing. No bracket times or classes. I only got against one slow car all day. They line the cars up 5 wide in the lnes and just look at two they think are abbout the same. Not sure how they decided as I got 7 sec. cars all day, and one in the same ET as me.

My M&H Racemasters REALLY were hooking up great! I can spin them to heat them up with my line lock, but they don't spin much after that, or I'd have gotten hammered hard by Toymaker's twin engine rail!

Check this video from the same race. That's Robbie Davis' ****** coupe, and he stood it on the bumper a couple of runs!

Pictures look great. What do those 1/8th mile times work out to roughly in the 1\4? I will have to watch the videos in a day or two when i get to the base as my internet here blocks all videos.

Great photo by the way. Definately would be printing that one and putting it in a nice frame.

1/8 mile times usually work out to about 60% of 1/4 mile times.
