Dan and I were back 6-27.
4 time runs and a red light in the first round. -.04.
I went waaaaay under too - 17.54 on a 17.78 dial. Just learning the car....

First upgrade will be gage cluster, with a tach.

A well spent 7min of my life.
Excellent vid.

Crazy hot is right. Jim announced they set a record high, at 95deg, at 4pm. Dan weighs in at 110lbs, and yes, that's probably an easy .1. No passengers during eliminations. Dan was bummed. He did ride along on the time run. I was car 58, and the last ticket. What does that tell ya. BTW, my first (el...

It was an impromptu decision, to take my son, and my Impala, to Thompson last evening. This would be my first return visit, in three years.

Simulated Mid-Ohio too.

Exactly.

BTW, nice reading of old Thompson stuff. Man, have 'times' changed.

Interesting article.... Thanks!
Although, it would seem like a lot of weight, behind the real axle.

LOL....

He's done several blocks and head work, for me. I'd go there again.

Yes, it is a good find!
