Update...............



Tim in staging waiting to run.







Saturday's only run................middle 130s



There was one other D/PP entry this year, an early 70s Chevy. The owner told Tim a Sprint car engine builder put his engine together and it had shown over 500hp on the dyno. He had made several runs on Saturday and Sunday with a best of 135. (See red pickup in the background.)







Tim's runs early Sunday were still in the 130s, then at 6:00pm the red Chevy rolled up to the line with Tim. One at a time, they went head to head. The Chevy ran 136...............Tim ran 140 and some change.



It was the first time Tim has gone over 140 and he was very excited about it. Besting the Chevy in the same class by 4mph was just icing on the cake.
