We just got back from Clay City. It was a great trip!
bang There's all kinds of news... I guess I should wait and let Fred or some of the other guys fill you in on most of the news But I don't think anybody would mind if I let you know who won the Trophy and the five hundred bucks for winning the shootout.
Friday we had lots of rain and couldn't get on to the track but Saturday was great. This is a really nice race track and they had a lot going on. There was a car show, they had a group of old funny cars and some slingshot front engine dragsters and of course the 409 cars. We had nine cars running down the track and they all ran good,,, but no one was as fast as the the guys from Texas. Ronnie and Barry's car ran like a top. As you may know the car is set up to run at their local 1/8 mile track, so, it's gearing wasn't very good for the 1/4 mile. But no problem, Barry just went hard through the 1/8 mile then backed off a bit and finished the rest of the run, and he must have been pretty consistant because he made it through to the final round. They ended up with a by run for the win in the finals because the other car had driveline troubles. (that's another story) Anyway Barry let the Nova run the full 1/4 this time... The result...
9.99 bang
bang
bang
Everyone was really happy to see these guys win. They're both great guys and they've got a great car too!
There's more stories and news but I thought you should at least get the big news. Here's some Nova pictures.
