Default Another good weekend!

After winning in SG and runner up in SS at BMP Div2 opener, we won in both classes at Gainsville this past weekend. Off to a good start.

Will be running the Gators next as the first National event for the season.

May run in one of the NMCA/LSX classes in 4 weeks, but mainly going to support Edgar in the car. :thumbsup:

Driver: Peter Biondo.

Cars: Super Stock is the "Hatari" 99 Transam of Phillip Monteath's

Super Gas is a 63 vette roadster.

Peters regular car is a silver 69 camaro 396 but they left it up in NY while Monteath drove the rig down with the other cars.

Emily was going to run in SC but they sold the dragster just before coming down so she missed the first 2 races of the season so far until they get another TD/SC dragster set up.

Results are on NHRA.com

Here is the link to the current standings (they have it under Div1, but it is Div2. The Div2 shows last years for some reason):

http://www.nhra.com/points/lucas-div.aspx

The results are still showing 2009....NHRA is NOT good at keeping the site updated.

Edgar will take the Bat Car to a win in a few weeks we predict. Setting it up to run 11.00 index.

Thanks for the additional information. I was just getting ready myself to move up to the Super Stock class getting all the right stuff together saved up enough to budget in a good startup program then they Locked out the US Steel Plant up here and Lost my job with no end in sight since October

11.90 takes alot of skill so just keep at it! We don't have the big team we used to either due to similar circumstances. So we just crew most of the time now.
