**LARRY70GS** · 10-13-2006, 10:13 PM

Alan Wander got video of me going down the track and from inside the car. Will have to wait to see that though. Car had the best MPH with the MT's at 20 psi. 18 psi resulted in slower trap speeds, better 60'. Best was 1.72

Real nice Larry.

**pwm72** · 10-14-2006, 06:06 AM

Wow, that is great Larry, congratulations.
I hope to see you guys in about 2 hours when the track opens up.

**GKsGS400** · 10-14-2006, 07:08 AM

Just about everyone is running their fastest times this weekend.

I made a 12.09@110mph pass.

Today we'll try uncorking the exhaust and get it in the 11's.

**RegalGS** · 10-14-2006, 07:46 AM

Very impressive passes, I saw most of them... only wish I could go back today -- I was in heaven surrounded by all the big block (and turbo 6 ) buicks haha --

good luck to everyone down there this weekend

Nice work Larry!

Alan, you haven't been thrown off yet with that 12.09 time? If not, I imagine your 11.9x run will be your swan song!

**Carl Rychlik** · 10-14-2006, 11:08 AM

That is excellent news Larry! Let's see what what kind of times you can do today.

Good luck!

**BUICK528** · 10-14-2006, 04:00 PM

I hear a rumor....

gess who ??

10.99 !!!

**LARRY70GS** · 10-14-2006, 04:38 PM

GESSLER!!and a 10.95!!!!

**tufbuick** · 10-14-2006, 05:03 PM

Rick Martinez using the Moon Man's log on

Right Larry a 10.95 and that's on Bias Ply tires!!!

Plus both Bruno DiPaola and Rob Chilenski both clicked off 9.12 et's!!!!!
Later in the day Bruno and Rob lined up for a grudge run. It was a side by side race from start to the end with Rob running a 9.15 to Bruno's 9.17.

John Schmidt ran a ..... 7.54 at 184 mph !!!!!! with the Opel and with Moses at the wheel!!!

Alan Wander with his 69 GS ran a 12.09 !
Dave Shaker with his 69 GS also ran a 12.09!

There were three ZO6's racing, one of them went an 11.06 at 129 mph and another went 11.10 at 130 mph on drag radials!

Paul Cassidy with his wagon won the Quick 16 ran I believe a best of a 10.75. Bruce Willson was runner-up. Bill Lagna had his wagon out and was running 10 teens with a 6600 high rev chip. Jack Cotton is official de-throned as the wheelie king by Rich Rezes (photos to come). Plenty of 8 and 9 second Turbos. On one of the Q-16 rounds both wagons were lined up together, that was a cool race to watch.

Early car count is 124 cars racing on Saturday and 73 on Friday!! We had the best car count ever for this event during the past 10 years! Mostly everyone ran their best times ever!

All of you Ohio and Michigan members.... you missed mine shaft conditions for a two day event!!!! Wish you all could have come, missed you all. Oh and gas prices...under 2 bucks a gallon. Temps: We were running below sea level with temps in the low 50's not a friggin cloud in the sky!

Tons of photos to come...

Way to go everyone!! wishing I could have made this great event, however, working on a few projects set me back and could not attend.
I'm happy for all that ran their best ET's it is a great track, hope all have safe travels home. Look forward to some pics!

Bruce

Congratulations Larry

**buickwagon** · 10-16-2006, 11:42 AM

That's great Larry! It was good to see you running the car. I think you'll be adding Cecil to your list of which tracks you'll run at during the year. And if I'm not mistaken, that list has been growing!

**12lives** · 10-16-2006, 04:05 PM

Way to go Larry! What was the blue stuff on your quarters???

- Bill

**GKsGS400** · 10-16-2006, 05:58 PM

Larry has a lot more in there if you ask me. I didn't believe I would pick up that much with the Holley over the Q-Jet. But that 12.09 shut my mouth after my jaw hit the ground.

His heads and exhaust probably flow better than mine and the quad is holding him back.

We're going to try it at Atco next month and I bet he knocks 3 tenths off that time.
