Dang that event is picky. I'm surprised they didn't specify the oil you have to run in the engine.

600 pre-registered  cars with a waiting list for cancellations. If you can make it, check it out. Very unique event.

On oil.. No synthetics allowed and no muti vis.. Only straight weight..  Non-detergent is acceptable ;)

Thanks for the compliments.. What a great event.. 630 race cars... Lots of Fords represented..

I got the wagon down to 11.09 at 121 but could not squeeze out a 10.

I was able to dispatch 4 scrubs.. 2 chevelles 1 vette and a 57 wagon. That earned me 40 bucks form The Y Block Magazine victory fund  lol

All in all great fun, and the quality of some of the cars was phenomenal.
