Nice Video. I can't make it but Doug plans on bringing blue to run in the extreme street class. 10 rib on, smaller pulley installed after this Saturday, rear tires swapped to a skinnier tire so it will qualify. Look for the 9.33 @ 147MPH C5 Supercharged record to fall in this competition!!

So Ed..
Let me get this straight.....
We get to make time runs 9:00-11:30AM, then have our eliminations at
7:00 PM is that correct?

What are we supposed to do for 7.5 hrs?

Also what does your statement > "we qualify each of the NSCA Qualifying sessions".... mean????

Ellis the time runs are not qualifying. Remember this is a heads-up class so you have to qualify for position. As I said above, we qualify with each NSCA qualifying pass (although it does not say ASC) so you would have three qualifying passes in that time plus I would think you'd eat lunch.

Now you personally have another option. You can run another class that is run with similar rules and stuff called Pump Gas Challenge, provided you don't sneak any of that 100 octane you were talkin about the other day . Eddie Plybon and Ernie King usually run ASC and PGC and I am sure they would welcome you into the class as 4 cars gets to a payout.

Figures, my 1 Saturday /month that I have office hours is May 20th.
Although I posted earlier in another thread that I can't drive to Cecil, I did Mapquest & it's only 108 miles from me-not bad at all...
Can't make the ECSCC this Sat. or that event next Sat.....
