Here we go race fans. Round 1 qualifying of DR1 Super Stock dragsters under the lights at the 2024 Ice Drags. First pair sees ECbill and billEC in the Yeti and Blazin Bill dragsters. Next pair RR and Racin Rob. Just like the last pair they might be the same driver they might not be. Who knows? Next pairing sees JJWALLACE in the grape ape and Dave632 in the 632 dragster. Next pair Jetta in the Blue Hell dragster and Dave632 in the Castrol edge dragster. The board went down before we got a shot of the times but it was dave623 with a .5718 and Jetta with a .5409

Next up is Swiftkart in the STR dragster along side Gramps Ratz in the Alley Ratz1 As you can see round 1 wasn't without issue as crew chiefs are trying to figure this track out. Gramps didn't move off the line in Q1 That will bring up Gnome in the Gnome dragster and Steve E-D in ol blue. Folks this pair came along way to be here and they came dressed to impress. We have Mazda in the Mazda dragster and Weissach in the Weissach Wagon. Here comes Gramps in the Alley Ratz 2 and Comet in ol blue. Let's see if the crew chiefs learned anything from their sister cars. Seems like Gramps team has it figured out.

That will see JJWALLACE in the Mystifier and Comet in ol red bring them to the line. JJ lost a magnet at half track but kept the car under control. Next we see Pete in the color flopping Dragster and Steve E-D in ol red. You think Steve and Comet copied each other's paint?? Here comes another absolutely beautiful pair of cars in Hairycanary and Eagle Racing. Driver name same as the car name. If it's right it's right. And that brings up the last car to qualify in round one for tonight in Blues Guy in the Mac Tools Dragster. Now a few action shots and maybe a mishap. I don't think the rear tire should be infront of the car. Now wait a minute. Who's chasing who here? This was just round 1 folks. We have ran both rounds and like normal everyone picked it up in round 2. Anyone that didn't make a pass in q1 was able to make it down the track in q2 and everyone has a time. We have 3 more dragsters that will arrive in the morning and make their passes and then we will fill out the ladder. What a amazing looking and running group of cars we havr here. Now we'll move into something a little less noisy in the stock Tjet class. I know the neighbors will be pleased!

Next pair Cozwurth in the vega and Racin Rob in the dash camaro. That brings up Dave632 in his red camaro and Racin Rob in his blue camaro. The board flipped before we could get a shot but I will tell you Dave632 was in the. 8s and Racin Rob wasn't far behind. Now to the line is Gramps Ratz in the beautiful Quick Trip and Dave632 in his white camaro. Next up is JJwallace in the fairlane and Comet in the Maverick. I know it says Pete is the driver of the fairlane but I promise you it's JJwallace. Most people don't know Pete is JJs alias.

Now we have Comet in what else but a 64 Comet and JJWallace in the Torino. Next in the water box is Steve-E-D in the yellow Challenger and Weissach in the gasser 57. Unfortunately on its long trip here it looks like the bug catcher on the 57 rusted right off. Next sees Pete in his fairlane and Crossfire in the big Suburban. Crossfire de slots before the 60' That brings up Smokinvinnie in "76" and Steve-E-D in his pink challenger. It took Smokinvinnie a minute to see the green but he found it.

In the water box now is Kstocks in the off the show room floor mustang and Bluesguy in the Thunderbolt. Let's take a look at Gnome in the pink Merc and Hairycanary in the wild willys. Last car up is Jetta in the lime green bug. I don't know about you but I don't like bugs that fast. They are to hard to kill. That will wrap up qualifying for Stock Tjet. All pictures are from round 1. Let me tell you everyone figured out the Ice track after round 1 and stepped it up big time in round 2. We have 1 more driver pulling in but we had to shut the track down for the night so we will run him in the morning. We will get the ladder posted up and get to racing around noon tomorrow.
