2024 Halloween race thread

Congrats to Gnome on the win, and to all the racers for a great show.

Who's ready for some gasser action? Dry hops, long smokey burnouts, back up girls, high front ends, big blowers and choppy cams. What's not to love? 2 rounds of qualifying are in the books. Let's take a look at some action. All pics and times are Q1.
First up Finistauri in Draga Alyna and Comet in the Rude Stude.

They both make a clean pass.

Next pair Pete in the cobra and Cozwurth in the J Walker.

Another set of clean passes from the pair.

That will bring up the pairing of Rocket Jim on the 41 Willys and Pete in the Torino.

Both cars tear up the track.

Now to the line is Crossfire in the sinister camaro and Steve-E-D in the RatBagz willys

They too will blister the track.

Watch out here come Rusted Christine and Dave632 along side Racing Rob in the beautiful 59 impala.

This would have be a great race here.

Next up Ecbill and Agent Orange and Crazynski and the red Camaro.

The 57 just layed down a number there.

Next pairing Gnome in the casper J and Gramps in the Can O Whoop Ass.

They are not playing around today.

Would you look at the size of the blower in the Comet Elcamino along side Bluesguy and his 41.

I think Comet sucked all the air off the track with that blower.

This is the one you have to watch for Evil Christine along side Finistauri and Black Widow Dragon.

Another pair of fast moving gassers.

Next up Carla60 in Car-la and Ecbill in the Flamed 55.

I think Bill left some of those flames on the track there.

Gramps and Gramps Grage along side Cozwurth and Driving Miss Crazy

Gramps stumbled and Cozwurth makes a clean pass.

Kstocks brings out bad medicine and Bluesguy comes out in the pink 41.

Kstocks has some issues and doesn't get a time. Hopefully they figure it out for round 1.

Here comes AJR and BIG T along side Tame Bill in the not so Tame Henry J.

Both make solid passes.
Last pair Gnome and the Georgia Shaker and Crazynski in the 442.

They are both sitting solid in the field today.

I did forget to get pictures of Carla60 in the USAF willys and KStocks in the Warlock willys. Carla60 had a et of .7584 and kstocks 1.2174.
Now on to the number 1 qualifier. It's going to be Ecbill in the Flamed 55. That thing really is on fire and turned in a Q2 et of .5692! That thing could keep up with the inlines on 20 volts! Congratulations Ecbill for going event low and I believe track record low for this class.

NICE EC!!!!

Nice runs, Mike. Got me by 0.0006!!
Those 59 Caddys tip the scales at just over 67 grams.

First pair up right side of the ladder is Carla60 in the USAF willys and Comet in the Elcamino. Staged and set.

Not alot of separation between these 2. At the stripe it's Carla60.

The elco hung in there just waiting for Carla60 to make a mistake.

Next pair. Stay back folks. It's Evil Christine along side her sits cozwurth in the J Walker.

Green like and Cozwurth gives Christine some room and rightful so. At the big end it's Christine taking the win.

The J Walker playing it safe and staying away from Dave632 and Evil Christine.

Next pair Carla60 and Gramps.

They are away and Gramps has his car turned up but it's not enough and Carla60 takes the stripe.

Gramps best run still wasn't enough.

That brings us Finistauri in Black Widow Dragon and Kstocks in Bad Medicine.

The tree drops and Fin is away and Kstocks doesn't move.

He struggled with that car all day and it continues. Fin moves on.

Next pair Pete in the cobra and Finistauri in Draga Alyna.

The pair is away and it's a battle.
At the big end it's going to be Draga Alyna taking the win.

Draga Alyna is last years campion and the team is looking to repeat.

Next pair sees Steve ED and RatBagz taking on Crazynski in the camaro.

They are away but about 200 foot out RatBagz gets lose and rolls. The safety crew is quickly on the scene and Steve is out and talking.

What a ride. Steve-E-D is fine and the car is repairable. Crazynski moves on.

Last pair of round 1 is Gnome in the casper J and Bluesguy in the Flamed Willys.
Both are away clean and the willys seems to be struggling. Gnome will move into round 2.

Tough day for the willys as they load up for the evening.

That does it for round 1. We are going to see some close action from here on. Stay tuned for round 2.

Congratulations Gnome! That car is fast!
