Here we go with call outs. The new Gatekeeper is Chriskingsley65 and unfortunately wasn't able to make the call so JJ will move into the new open number 9 spot. He quickly calls out Pete in the Wifes Mustang. They stage and come on the 2 step.  Slight advantage goes to the Wifes Mustang and Pete keeps it at the half. To the top end it's going to be the Wifes Mustang holding that very slim lead all the way.  The Onyx camaro will stay number 9 and Pete will call out number 7.  Pete calls out number 7 Dave632 in old reliable. Cars are staged and ready.  Dave632 has a slim advantage but these cars are close. They stay close all the way to the finish with Dave632 taking the stripe.  Pete stays 8 and Dave calls out number 6.  Number 6 the Wicked One being driven by Kstocks gets the call out from number 7 Dave632 and old reliable. I hear the 2 step so they are ready.  Dave632 gets the jump and stays out at the 660. Charging to the big end it's Dave632 with the win.  Dave moves to 6 and Kstocks drops to 7.  Next up number 5 Skillet and Sloopy calls out number 4 Finistauri in the Memphis Belle. Waiting on green.  Skillet gets the jump but Fin is around him at the half. Sloopy is trying to make up ground but can't get it done.  Skillet stays 5 and Finistauri will call out number 3.  Fin calls out the number 3 Ecbill in the Steeler corvette. Thumbs up from both drivers and we're ready.  Both drivers are away and it's Memphis Belle out front at the 660. Running to the top end it stays that way with Finistauri taking the win.  Finistauri moves to number 3 and Ecbill drops to 4.  Last pair up will be pennywize619 in Blue Balls calling out number 1 Gnome in Grimace. Cars are in the beams.  Almost dead even at the hit but Grimace takes the lead at the 660. Blue Balls is trying to run him down but can't make it happen.  Grimace stays 1 and Blue Balls stays 2.  Here's the list around the first round of call outs.  I just got word from Pete he is ready to go live. Right after this commercial break. |

Alright race fans let me explain what's going on here. Pete won a beautiful 2010 3 gear camaro in the guessing game. Being that Pete is a stand up guy he decided to give the car away to 1 lucky newcomer to nitro slots. He has the names in a skillet and is about to draw the winner.  There are the names now let's fry them up a little.  Let see who the winner will be. Who is it? who is it? you ask well here it is.  Cozwurth you just won a new 3 gear! We'd love to see it in the shark pool at the next race. Congratulations!  |

Round 2 of PSO list racing is underway. We will again start with the shark pool. First pair out is Racing Rob in Big O and Gramps in Orange Crate. RPMs are up and they are ready.  Gramps takes the starting line but Racin Rob is around him by the 60' and stays there till the finish.  The orange crate is really struggling to make it down the track today.  Next shark pool pair is Bluesguy and Comet. Tomb Raider has a new set of slicks and is ready to go.  The are almost even off the line and stay pretty close to the half where Comets tires come off again. Someone must have forgot to tighten the lug nuts!  Bluesguy moves on.  That brings up the high roller and Car-la60 and Racin Rob in Big O. They wait for green.  Big O is first away and to the 60 and 660. Car-la60 is right there but can't get around Rob at the finish.  Car-la60 will stay swimming until the next race.  This is it last shark pool race for this event. Bluesguy in the vette and Racin Rob in Big O. Locked and loaded.  They are away and it looks like Rob is out front at the 660 mark. To the top end it's going to be Racin Rob.  Racin Rob will call out JJ for a spot on the list and Bluesguy will swim until next time.  |

Here we go. Round 2 of list call outs. We're going to start with Racin Rob and Big O calling out JJwallace in the Onxy camaro. They bring them to the line.  JJ just made it on the list and he wants to stay there. He has the starting line advantage. He keeps that to the half and the finish.  JJ and the Onyx camaro stays on the list and Racin Rob goes back to the shark pool.  JJ called out number 8 Pete in the Wifes Mustang again. Let's see if he has anything different for him this time.  JJ takes the tree but pete is right with him and they are side by side all the way down. At the stripe it's Wifes Mustang with the win.  The Onyx camaro will stay and 9 and Pete calls out 7.  That brings number 7 Kstocks in the Wicked One Mustang up to defend against Pete in the Wifes Mustang. They stage and wait on green.  Kstocks takes the tree and the 60. He goes into tire shake after that and Pete pulls around by the 660. He keeps gaining ground all the way to the finish.  Pete takes number 7 and Kstocks falls to 8.  Number 6 Dave632 and old reliable calls out number 5 Skillet and Sloopy. I hear the RPMs and they are ready.  Even at the hit but Dave632 starts pulling. Hang on Sloopy! Dave632 will stay out front and take the 5 spot.  They will stay 5 and 6 until the next race.  Next up number 4 Ecbill and the Steeler corvette calls out number 3 Finistauri and Memphis Belle. Staged and ready.  Memphis Belle takes the tree and the 60 and 660. Ecbill has some ground to make up but just can't get it done today.  Fin stays 3 and Ecbill will stay at number 4.  Finistauri calls out number 2 Pennywize619 and Blue Balls. They are on the 2 step waiting for green.  Starting line advantage pennywize619 but here comes Memphis Belle and Blue Balls can't stay out front at the 660 or at the finish as Memphis Belle takes it.  Memphis Belle moves into the 2 spot and Blue Balls number 3.  Gnome and Grimace are safe at number 1 for this event. Let's take a look at the list after 2 rounds.  Definitely a shake up. That's how it will stay until the next event. That will do it for PSO here at the 2024 Ice Drags! Don't go to far we still gave the 4GO list to shake all up. |

Sure is tougher now Jeff. We used to battle for top spot with .59-.60.
Now I see all the PSO guys have stepped up their game, nice going and glad to see it. Good show guys.
The chassis in the old reliable 55 has almost 10 years of racing under its belt with the same old mean green armature and dash magnets. Probably has at least 500 passes on it. Looks like it's time for some updates since the rules and new supplies have changed some.
That's racing however. When I was racing full size running mid 4s in the 1/8th was near the top of the heap, now that's an also ran.
Thanks again Adam for doing all the work it takes to run an event. If you have not done it, you have no idea. Good job.

We are going to switch gears and do a little grudge racing. Ecbill and the Hot Nova and Racin Rob in the Dash Camaro. These two swapped spots all the way down the track the first time so why wouldn't they do a little grudge racing. We are going to do best of 3 swapping lanes each time. The drivers are buckled in and ready for a good time.  Racin Rob cuts down the tree but Ecbill is out front at the 60 and 660  There is no telling who's going to take the stripe. These cars are CLOSE! At the finish its going to be Racin Rob with the speed advantage taking the win.  Rob takes the first race but we are doing best of 3 so let's bring them back up.  They stage the cars and come up on the 2 step here we go. Are we going to 3 or can Racin Rob and the Dash Camaro end it here. Let's find out.  Again Rob takes the tree but there's Ecbill ahead at the 60 this time Rob takes the 660. These guys are not giving a inch and stay side by side down the track. At the finish its going to be Racin Rob taking it in 2!  Both drivers pick it up from the last race but Racin Rob takes this one.  Congratulations Rob on the grudge win. |
