abort the run
Anyway thanks again....

Huge Thanks to Gary and Ron for putting this together... And, thanks for having us.
Also, serious thanks to DropTheTop for the delicious ribs! Although you gave us an extra pan to take home, they never made it! We stayed at the track for a while, ate them all, and then washed em down at the bar
Really nice to meet many of you today and to put faces with CF names, although I probably forgot everyone's real name
We made a few consitent passes, working on our dial for the GM EFI 8.90 index, had some decent 1.3x 60', and quite a few 8.9's.
An awesome day... Hope to see you all again soon.
Keep in mind that any GM EFI vehicle is welcome to come to Raceway Park on October 22 and run in the Brackets or 8.90 (see: http://www.efiracing.com) - just bring more ribs
Thanks again

Rob and I greatly appreciate the thanks that have been given. It was good to see everyone come out. Although it was busy, the day went smoothly. (I'm sorry that I did not get a chance to meet everyone.
) The Friday night session was a disaster for those who attended. (Numerous oil downs and a crashed Mustang) Bruce and the Catfish could only make a few passes with traction being marginal due to all of the street cars.

It was an episode of Fire Marshall Bill.
Back to figure out why she's blowing oil topside. Will keep you posted.
Rob/Gary; thanks for a fun rental that went quite smoothly with almost no breakage.
It was a great day getting to see every body again for the first time in a while. Some really fast/fun toys out there.
Ribs were awesome and it was nice to meet a few of you for the first time.

That's a cool video Gary. Did you notice it still crept a tiny bit?
Also, did you see how much the tire grew? If you stare at the left edge of the tire/rim, as you go down the track, the rim edge becomes more and more apparent!
As my text said to you, that was a good run!
Thanks to you and Rob for organizing this, and yes it WAS busy!
