Day 4: Part 2 - Sssssmokin

WOW! Drag racing was great. The MINI ran an impressive 16.843....This really was a blast. It was hot in the fire suits, and in the cars, but Chris in the Challenger and I took the line. A veteran Brit in a Classic Vintage American Car - the Dodge Charger, and a rookie American in a Classic Modern British Car - the MINI Cooper S. It was a showdown with smoke (no mirrors) and fanfare for the audience. In the end the British won...in the Dodge Charger.

Here are some picrtures taken by Greg of the event. I went onto bracket and had to rerun do to timing issues against an IROC and broke out - with a time of 16.4. Breaking out is bad, not good. That means you went faster than you said you would. Apparently I used a little too much gas that time! Oops.

The Charger went on to place in the top 16. Our friends Fish and Jason went intoo the top 4 with their demon of a MINIvan. Awesome job guys!

By request of some fellow BMWCCA guys, I am posting more pictures to the blog...
