No doubt, I'd like to know the air conditions there today. Looks like it sucked.
Looked like Schechter was having some problems, I wonder what they were.

Congrats to Dee and the Reactive Team!
You did say you had a good feeling about the event, glad it turned out the way it did. You guys deserve it for all your hard work and dedication.

Dee has been 7.60 many times before and the other rx7 in the class from PR, 'PICA RACING' driven by George Lazcano who has the class record at 7.49@181mph was not competing this weekend. That same car has ran as quick as 7.40 and as fast as 185mph in PR.
The main reason why everyone's performance were off this weekend was due to the altitude. The cars in the 'ALL MOTOR' class suffered the worst. Their times were off by over a second.

Carl Martin could not enter SRWD since he has a water to air Intercooler. That's why he ran Quick 16 which is the fastest Bracket racers.
It was cool to hang out with Dee, Quinn, Dan, Carl, and the other guys (sorry don't remember everyone)
Even though I destroyed my 3rd gear syncro....I somehow took 3rd in SRWD right behind Dan. LOL It helped I qualified with a 11.6 and got a paired up with a slower car!

Here's a video of that run......Too bad Dan broke as it would have been cool to have a video of Rotary vs Rotary (Him kicking my ***!)

Ken switched the Ecu's in his car. He used to run a Microtech but is now using an Electromotive TEC3. This was the first event with the TEC3 in the car.
Glad to see he did well. If he did not red light, he would have won since I believe Paul had some issues with his car on that run.
Also, from the NHRA website....
Karagiannis, from Glenwood, Md., was able to wipe the bridesmaid label off his 2006 plate by collecting his second career win with his Mazda RX7. He had been the runner-up in the last two races and finally won by defeating Paul Efantis and his Toyota Solara. Karagiannis drove to the win in 7.93 seconds at 165.54 mph. Efantis came on fast at the end, but wasn’t able to catch the quicker Karagiannis
“The third time’s a charm,” said Karagiannis. “Consistency is what wins the race. What we lack in money is made up for in dedication. We were here until 3:00 in the morning last night trying to get things right. Those late nights pay off. I want to thank Powertrain Control Solutions. They are the reason we are here.”
