This Week At Carolina Dragway

[Nick]

"The House of Hook" kicks off Club TNT this Thursday which should give us a preview of the season opener Quick 8 Outlaws race on Saturday.

Anyone care to speculate on ET's from the automatic Pro Mods this year? Kerry Crosby has already fired the first shots with his 4.0972 179.35 and 4.0877 180.00 blasts at Orangeburg last weekend.

with this list of powerglide pro-mods finest considering that Chris Rini, Kevin Mayer and Jeremy Creasman (all teen and twenty cars) will not be there , I predict a #16 bump of 4.30's


Its going to be tough over in powerglide land.............................

[Nick]

Oh man, that's a killer field. :)

MAY be making the ride down Saturday, I think the 5 hr ride might be worth it!!!

[quickwrench]

What car does D Hoyle have for this?

[brucelee]

Hoyle has the class record at a 4.77 in limited street, maybe drop some weight and put some bigger tires on it and go a bit fast. I don't think that will be quite good enough to make this feild though. Maybe he is just planning on testing or something?

Gina, put a little light on it for us.

[Big G]

Hoyle has a ex-Rickie Smith cobalt!!!!

Hoyle has a ex-Rickie Smith cobalt!!!!

correct. Darrin and I met in Rockingham Spring Blast open test season in February and he had his new ride!!! Equipped with big tires and a glide. I spoke with him Monday and he is very excited about coming to Q8Outlaws and we are honored to have him!!!

Oh hell yes. Darin Hoyle is a bad bad man, it is only a matter of time before he is winning races with the big tire car.

[Nick]

I'll second that! :)

[Nick]

Okay, who's got the lowdown on TNT?

[Oatmeal]

Kerry "Possum" Crosby ran a 4.10 in the first round of qualifing to be number one qualifier. Don Benton in his brand new GTO and Bryan "Lil Mo" Morris in the BAMM racing corvette both did two hell of a driving jobs to keep the cars off of the wall.


Do to several oil downs by the test and tune cars the 1rst round was not run untill 10:45.

1st round
Don benton and Bryan Morris
I believe Don benton won but missed this race in concession stand line.

Cork Blackshire over Ric Flec

Kenny Kneece over Danny Vaugh

Kerry Crosby with the bye run.

The final four split the money do to the time and it was getting very cold

[Nick]

Thanks! :)
