I heard 125 cars, but I would guess that included show cars also.  Though a few of them did race also.

Pro FE was the quickest 8 cars on the property.  Can't really say how many in Hot or Cool FE?  I went out 2nd round of Hot with a .-008 light.  My guess is 24+ in Hot, as I think it was at least 5 rounds to win.  Just under that in Cool?  This is just my guess, so I could be way off. 

I know it took 4 rounds to win the "bird race", I got a bye 2nd round with best light(.018) first round.  That was the free consolation race for anyone loosing 1st-2nd round of either class.  You win a laser cut BIRD with the engine size of your choice.

Here's a news flash.  Coon was at the FE Reunion on Saturday.  Surprised the heck out of me as Beaver Bob introduced him.

Nice 
Must be to pay for the construction on Larrys' route...lol

You know, PA is like OH......the highways are ALWAYS under destruction construction......
It is orange barrel season you know.  Got to make room in the yard to put the plows away.

Bring a helmet.
As bad as I am with the 4 speed you might be a lot better...

Huh...helmet...I got a helmet............

Well, in years past you had to start your cars during the night to keep the block from cracking from the bitter cold   

In all hopes this year we might actually need the a/c to sleep comfortably in the trailer. 


Jay?  Any updates on your trip?  Sill deciding on which car to put the motor in???

I plan to get in Thurs afternoon-ish.  I'll make sure to keep an open spot.  Not sure if we will do the front row this year agin or maybe back a few rows like we did years before.  More directly behind the tower, in the rear row. 

We go 80, to 99(State College) to 322 to 522 to 235.  You DON'T want to come over Bald Eagle Mountain(on 45 and 235).  This way is about 40+ Miles shorter then going out to rt 15.  Only one hill to really deal with coming home just above Milroy on 322.

Ya, Beaver is just past "the middle of nowhere"  .........so no cruising.   You just get off the big road and start heading out into the wilderness and sooner or later you arrive at a little sign that mentions a drag strip.

Though I might remember to give Doug his ride in the Mack this year???  Too bad I don't have a big enough trailer to bring the black car too or we could play the bobsie twins again....


BTW, what are your traveling plans like?  What roads are you taking to get to Beaver.  There are good ones and BAD ones.  I've been on the bad one before and you need to be aware of it.  Don't just follow Google maps.........they don't care if you are in a big truck/trailer.  There are some pretty serious mountains in PA.

I'll line up against Ron Capps in his funny car, don't matter to me. 

Yup, my thoughts too.  Put a number on your car and run it.  So many racers put too much thought into it.  Or are just "scared".   I see the guys that "Must stage last" or whatever their hiccup is.  I don't care.  I do my thing and you can do whatever makes you happy.

I'm glad I run with my stick group.  We are all in the same basket and there aren't really any whiners in the group.  We have fun, all bets are off when the staging lights come on, but we enjoy the fellowship in the pits.
