I got burned by the 7 pm curfew! Last round of alcohol dragster qualifying started at 6:30 pm (late because of all the Top Fuel oil downs). They ran a couple of pairs of TADS, then some guy goes and crashes... They cancelled the rest of the session. I was strapped in and ready to go! I just KNOW that I was gonna pick up a tenth in the cool evening air. Oh well, I ended up qualified 8th with a 5.47, 259 mph.
TAD final order
If you are at the races saturday or sunday, stop by our pit and say hi!

Chris congrats on making the cut.

Kick ass in the eliminations. devil

Congrats Chris, I'll be watching the round results for you this weekend
As a side note are you Alcohol guys required to run a certain amount of divisional meets to be able to run the Nationals, like the other classes?

Craig,
Yes, Alcohol teams are required to earn grade points by running divisional races just like the rest of the sportsman classes. A driver earns 1 grade point for each division race attended. Grade points accumulate over the course of a year. To enter a national event, you must have at least 1 grade point, and sometimes 2.
Sleek-Jet, the Alcohol classes will be televised, just not this weekend. Look for it Feb 15th, 7pm PST on ESPN2.

Chris,
Are you running today? Your sitting in a good spot... far from bump spot... nice job! Good luck and see ya ou there.

Thanks Chris! You guys going to come over here for the Phoenix race week after next?
The Lucas A/FD is cranking! Those guys seem to have a tough time going four rounds without dropping a cylinder or two though
Anyone see that Bob Glidden is filling Crew Chief duties this weekend for Msark Pawuk? Like to see Bob on the recieving end of some current success. Billy Gliddens kicking butt in the street car series at least.
OK, wild guess here, come Sunday it'll be Dixon, Bazemore and Alderman on the podium
