Dedicated to Sportsman Drag Racing(No Pros) Fun Weekend Planned for NorwalkBill Bader's race track is more like a racer's amusement park than the typical race track. The motor home crowd has RV hook-ups to silence the generator noise. Plenty of paved parking and a great show to boot. There's a Top Sportsman and a Top Dragster Shootout planned. Oh, don't forget the ice cream. Paul and Paula are getting good at repairing fiberglass. The frontend of the car looks great. If you don't know, I shortened it by a few feet at Indy. Tires, a wheel, some 4130 tubing and a few pounds for fiber glass and resin have the 68 Camaro ready to do battle. I watched a little NASCAR racing last night since there wasn't any NHRA qualifying to watch. The car looks like we raced it with Tony Stewart on the second lap. We have a Darlington Strip down the right side. Now we can work on the mechanics and not have to fuss over the paint. It looks like a good weekend for racing. Paul will have the dog, the crew, the car, and the margarita mix. Oh Yea'h. LODRS 3-1 Complete, Mike Continues OnMike Coughlin continues his winning fashion by surviving 5 rounds of racing. After looking at the facts sheets the green eyed racers could say after 3 Red Light Wins and a break single on his way to the final, he had it made. Not True. Mikes car was one of the fastest cars on grounds and his performance as a driver and the cars performance was nothing less than terrific. Many fast cars broke traction or ran way off the number. Mikes combination was one of the best every round regardless of the opponents mistakes. Long time Jeg's Super Quick racer, Ed Dudley won the Top Dragster Class in a highly qualified dragster. Ed made the switch to dragsters last year from his Chevy Coupe. Ed had an equally strong performance all day including beating Craig Sullivan in the final. Craig has been in a couple of finals this year in NHRA competition both in Indy and St. Louis in the Super Quick Series. This track was marginal due to Mother Nature. Given
the conditions, the 7.50 cars had all the advantages in TS and TD.
The new VP traction compound used at It was nice to see all the new engines. I am sure Dart and Schmitt Engines felt like they were well represented. I have never observed so many 6 second runs in Top Sportsman with an open field. The Top Dragster field is filling up despite the high fuel prices and the poor weather prediction. Last I would like to say thanks to the ORP and NHRA staff, especially the trauma center on the grounds of ORP. I could not believe all the equipment laying around in the trauma center. I thought I was stepping into the Colts training facility. It is nice, take my word for it. The next race is at Norwalk. Wow I hope we can make it. The Bader experience is one you shouldn't miss. 2008 Fast Car Race Schedule In The Mid-westEmail me any additional date so I may post them NORTH CENTRAL DIVISION And more interesting stuff if we can think of it |
