Gather round racers gather round. You are about to witness sights and sounds you never thought possible. That's right we are kicking off Halloween 2 Pennywises revenge! All the haulers are unloaded and the pits are a buzz with excitement. Speaking of the pits let's take a look. Here is the 30 car field tjet Comp gasser.  And of course the inline Super Stock.  This would be a 32 car field but one car wandered a little to close to Christine and that was that. We do have a few other classes that are going to make a run at the track after our nitro classes run. We also have a few exhibition runs to bring you including a 4 wheel drive funny car.  You're also going to see a 1.5 pro mod blister the track. We are going to see a few 3.5 pancake cars battle it out. I believe we will also have a Metropolitan join the group.  Here is a special group. These are heavy weight tin top cars. Weight on these bad boys is over 50 grams! Some even have opening doors and hoods.  Last in our sideshow of classes is tintop grudge cast. These are also some heavy weights here. What kind of times will they turn? The future teller is on break so we will just have to wait and see.  And last but not least is our generous sponsors. AJR Racin Rob Ecbill Pennywise619 And we have gift certificates (not pictured) from a anonymous sponsor.   Just a little plug for myself I recently started making white toner waterslides I will be handing some out as prizes.  Now sit tight everyone. I did just hear a chainsaw start up and a strange faced man running around the pits so that must mean we are about to see the Leatherface merc make a pass. I hope everyone has their guesses in! |

Here we go. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre team brings the chop top to the line. You think they used the Chainsaw to chop the top?  Into the beams he goes and the lights drop and the car is gone in the blink of a eye and through the trap.  Who is going to be the closest? What did the car run? Let me look into my crystal ball.. it's going to be AJR coming in with a last minute low et guess. Congratulations Jeff! He was only off by .0013!  Jeff will be going home with a OK used cars 69 GTO.  |

Here we go folks. We are starting with inline SS qualifying and let me tell you that was a insane 2 rounds! All pictures are from round 1 and the teams learned some things about the track and turned it up for round 2. Let's have a look at Q1. Starting off is Steve ED in the Steve camaro along side Racing Rob in his camaro.  And the time slip  Next pair is Finistauri and Bluesguy.  Fin had trouble on this run and didn't make it to the stripe.  Next pair sees JW in jack pumpkinhead and Gnome in the Nomad  Let's take a peek at the times  Next in the water box is crazynski in the Mr Chevy and Tame Bill in the Slingshot. Do you see the ghost driving Mr Chevy?  To the boards  Next pair is Pete in the bullet mustang and Gnome in the Capri.  And the tale of the tape  Next pair Pete again in his camaro and Ecbill in the super pumpkin.  And a peek at the time slips  Next up Comet in the number 17 Chevy and Carla60 in the 70 camaro.  Blistering the track here folks.  Next pair to the line Ecbill in the super rat and Finistauri in Memphis Belle.  They light up the boards.  To the line next will be Eagle Racing in the Grim Reaper hearse and next to him is Comet in the ram.  The hearse struggled on this one. I think they still had the body in it.  Next pair is Gramps and Gramps. We've seen this match up it's Snake and Mongoose.  To the top  AJR in the firebird and Kstocks in the mustang are your next pair  The ets are  Here's another rivalry in the summit vs jegs match up of Dave632 cars.  Let's see who's got the faster ride in Q1  Next up Carla60 in the road runner panel and Kstocks in the white mustang.  Carlo60 had issues and will have to drop out of the race. Kstocks went on to run a .5913 Next pairing sees AJR in the Torino and Tame Bill in the Challenger.  Top end  Next pair is JW in the Jill pumpkinhead car and Bluesguy in his very orange camaro.  And now the et slip  And the final car will be Racing Rob in the yellow camaro.  Et slip  |

And now I bet everyone wants to know who the number 1 qualifier is? Well sit right down and I'll tell you it's Gnome in the nomad. He turned in a .4959 in Q2 to be the number 1 car. Congratulations Gnome. It's not going to be easy to stay there. We have some FAST cars here folks. 17 cars all in the .5s. We are in for a race.  |

Here we go. Left side of the ladder round 1. First pair Kstocks in the mustang next to Crazynski in the Mr Chevy Nomad. They bring them to the line.  Almost identical reaction times and the mustang starts to pull hard after that. Kstocks keeps the mustang out of the crowd and takes the win.  Look at the mph on the Nomad. He was trying hard to run Kstocks down.  Next pair out Racin Rob in the camaro along side Tame Bill in the Slingshot. What a great looking pair.  Slight advantage goes to Rob and he keeps that at the half and to the finish.  Looks like the Slingshot was just a little under powered today.  Next up Dave632 in the team summit car and Finistauri in the turquoise chief.  They are away with Dave632 getting the jump. Oh no! At about half track Fin rolls violently. The safety crew is on top of it and Fin is out of the car and is OK.  What a scary sight. We're glad to see fin is OK and Dave632 will move on.  Well after that scary incident we're glad to see Finistauri back up to the line in the Memphis Belle along side Comet in the number 17 chevy.  They are away and you can hear the tire chatter from Comets car as Fin pulls away for the win.  Comet had a monster tune in there but the track just couldn't hold it.  Next 2 sees alot of orange in Bluesguy and the orange camaro and Ecbill in the super pumpkin.  Ecbill get the hit and leads at every marker except the finish.  Wow what a race as Bluesguy pours on the speed to pass the super pumpkin right at the finish.  Next 2 cars will be Super Rat and Ecbill along side Tame Bill in the Challenger.  They are close at the hit but the rat is starting to pull away. At the finish it's going to be the Super Rat.  The Challenger gave it its all but was just a little short today.  Final pair on the left side is Pete in the camaro along side Comet in the Ram.  They are away and again a team Comet car goes up in smoke. They are trying to rotate the earth with their setups.  Pete will take the win today.  That will do it for the left side now onto the right. |
