Some great racing today, congrats to all the winners and participants. Good luck to all in the next round. I thought I told Jungle Jim to not use prune juice as a fuel additive, guess he did not listen to me.  |

4GO Round 2 Call Outs
Nothing stays the same for very long on these Lists........
CO 1 Hairy Canary CO JJW for #1. The Willys made a possible record run to snatch the #1 from Leihua's Rose Tbird. Good job! .6561et / .6718et
CO 2 Dave632 CO JJW for #2. Dave wants the #2 spot back. JJW runs his number and it's good enough to keep himself at #2. .6738et / .7018et
CO 3 Kiwidave CO Dave632 for #3. A true car reaction holeshot! Kiwidave Thunderbird reacts quick enough to get the win and the #3 spot from Dave632. Win margin .0009 .7116et / .6998et
CO 4 Gnome CO Dave632 for #4. Can Dave stop the bleeding. He is certainly one for the dramatic when he gives Gnome a huge headstart but is just able to get back by at the finish. Jungle Jim is safe at #4. .7069et / .7152et
CO 5 Ecbill CO Gnome for #5. Gnome handles his business and retains the #5 spot till the next Outlaw meeting. .7142et / .7603et
CO 6 Nosub CO Ecbill for #6. Both cars get faster for this race. Purple Haze gets it done and takes the #6 spot. .7122et / .7519et
CO 7 Steve CO Ecbill for #7. Now it's Bill that needs to stop the bleeding. Blue Streak steps it up and runs it's best ET so far and stays where he's at. .7509et / .7699et
CO 8 Hilltop CO Steve for #8. Steve launches and is out first. Hilltop comes around at the 660'. But the Tap It car gets up on the tire and flies by the Camaro on the big end. .7767et / .9560et

PSO Round 2 Call Outs
CO 1 Nosub CO Dave632 for #1. Very close....almost identical incrementals. The Rebel Nomad wins by a car and keeps the Crown! This race was won in the first 60'. .6340et / .6346et
CO 2 JJW CO Nosub for #2. Another car reaction time holeshot win! It's crazy to think that as fast as these little cars are going, that one could move that much faster than the other on a simultaneous switch to get the win. I know...I know...there are other factors involved here and when we're talking .0001. relay speed is a factor. But generally......it's pretty cool. JJW takes #2 back. .6328et / .6270et
These are the crazy numbers. Check that out. Great race!!
CO 3 Gnome CO Nosub for #3. Nosub doesn't want to lose any more spots. It was a good race, but Blue Silk had the Charger covered. .6262et / .6479et
CO 4 Hilltop CO Gnome for #4. Gnome does enough to stay safe where he's at. .6522et / .7019et
CO 5 Ecbill CO Hilltop for #5. Grady is starting to slow. Not sure if it's breakage or what. He's done for the day. Ecbill takes #5. .6628et / .7249et

That's it for the Call Outs. Hilltop's car needs attention and he's run enough races today as it is. All other Call Outs will have to wait till the next List race....in Tennessee I think. It's been a full weekend of racing anyway. I think we can all be happy with that. I shot slo mo video of the 4GSC Semi Finals and PSO and 4GO races for #1. I will edit those and post this week I promise. I will bring closure to the event in the next coupe of days and award the Best in Show. Thanks to all that participated, supported, and watched the event.

Some great list racing there. I have seen quite a few hole shot wins at my track. You would think that if the cars are started at the same time there would be no hole shots, not so, and those thousandths can be important at times.  Congrats to Hairy Canary for taking the #1 spot in 4G outlaw. We will be chasing you at the next race.  Great show, thanks to all the participants, sponsors and especially Jeff for all the work he did to put on the event.  |

Been away from phone service and wifi most of the day. Congrats to all the winners. A big "hell yeah" to all the competitors for the level of competition provided. It was an amazing introduction to HO drag racing for me. I've learned a lot and will be more ready for battle at the next event for sure. A great big THANK YOU again to Steve for all your hard work and dedication. Amazing job!! I have to admit, I was skeptical about this proxy racing business but I am sold on it now. I spoke to one of my son-in-laws today, to happens to be a staff A/V specialist at the University of Illinois about A/V for when I hold an event. With a big grin on his face he told me not to worry about it!!!!

Bill I am retired and I most likely put more time in building than most of the guys. Many of the things I try do not work but you do not see those. I also have an electro-mechanical background which helps and I was a full size drag racer for many years which helps me understand certain things.

Jeff Thank You for putting on another great event so we have a place to play. You did a awesome job as usual. The videos are a huge bonus. They are just way cool. I liked the way you did the call outs. Seems like it had to be easier and less confusing for you ?Congratulations to Steve for his win and to Dave for all of his wins. And everyone who participated, a unbelievable turn out of great looking cars. Dave You dominated the whole weekend, good job. The reason my Willys did good was I didn't have time to tune it up from the last race. I was to busy de tuning all my other cars. If I had the time I could have screwed the tune up on the Willys too.
Rick
