    You think that many Blown cars will qualify ? The weather looks to be under 80 degrees for the weekend, I doubt more than 5 Blown cars will qualify.

    Pat, Duane should be there unless something changed that I do not know of. I do not think Art Gallant will be there atleast thats what Arts Brother told me at Etown a few weeks ago. Pep Boys pulling out two weeks before the beggining of the season really hurt that team.

    Do not have the time to enter all sixteen, but believe that 9 blown cars will qualify vs. 8 fools.

    Notable fool non-qualified
    Dave H.
    Notable blown non-qualified
    hopefully no one

    I'd rather be blown than fu'd

    TAD oops now their FOOLS? Nice site WILL damn even too....How many AFD guys have joined T@R@? and you wonder why?

    Now Hirata is a "Fool"? "8 FOOLS"?

    Whos the fool? Tjenna....they are atleast out there trying to race a car.....Keep tuning that keyboard and maybe one day the other one will drop and then you can drive a race car insted of your computer!

    Some people here may be able to run some AFD racers off this site....but you can damn sure bet you won't run them out of NHRA!

    Not that it matters or that anyone will give a shit....But I don't think I will be back!

    To me ITA has become a nice place to kick TAD/AFD drivers in the nutz....count me out!

    My bad...I should have read the name...

    Don't need to drive.

    Only tuning is necessary for me.

    Been there and won - both nationally and div. champ.

    If NHRA can make some good decisions will own/tune a TAD car again some day.

    Thank you hammer

    I have looked up "Tjenna" I don't see those names in the winner column at NHRA anywhere....Can you please use your real name? I mean damn if you have won Nationally as well as Divisionals one would think you would be proud to let people know who you are! Come on...let us "FOOLS" know just who it is that is calling us names!

    Push real hard....when the other one drops........tell us your real name "Master tuner"

    Only a couple master alcohol tuners out there, not one, but enough to win.

    Lighten up, they've been called for A/Foolers for years.

    Wondering why more AFD guys haven't joined TARA? Why join TARA when you're currently enjoying an almost 2 tenths performance advantage?

    BTW, Will has a great site going here. If you leave, you'll be missing out on the best Alky info on the net.

    I would be suprised if 8 Blown cars qualified! It's the A-fuel's race to lose!

    you know, there is a fine line i have to walk to decide what to edit and what not to.

    the main things that i will delete quicker than anything is 1. attacks on drivers w/o a real name. if you are a real driver/crew man that wants to call someone out and have the balls to leave a name, then it just comes down to what is said. 2. non alky related posts and senseless bickering that doesnt pertain to anything.

    with that being said, i will not delete someone's viewpoints, no matter how far to the left or to the right they are. this forum is for all alky racers, blown and nitro. i'm sure if chess bushey got on here, he would piss some blown people off. same thing.

    kevin, you've been a friend for a while, and you're always welcome. if you feel like you need to leave, then thats your choice. if i were you, i would be calling my a/fuel buddies and making this board real interesting....

    as far as indy...yall need to look at the weather and revise your picks. high of 72 on saturday. look for the big numbers to come out if they get a session or two in.

    1. Bradshaw 5.172
    2. Reichert 5.203
    3. Bartone 5.25
    4. Lucas 5.28
    5. Datweiler 5.30
    6. Hirata 5.31
    7. Bourke 5.32
    8. Gunderson 5.32
    9. Stark 5.33
    10. Myers 5.34
    11. Wells 5.36
    12. Shields 5.38
    13. Thacker 5.38
    14. Brounkowski 5.39
    15. Kelly 5.39
    16. Howard 5.40
    ------------------
    17. Wilson 5.40
    18. Haley 5.40
    19. Federlin 5.41
    20. Callaway 5.42
    21. Kosky 5.42
    22. McPhillips 5.42

    Round 1 10 am sunday morning. about 63 degrees..

    W Bradshaw 5.15 L Howard 5.36
    W Reichert 5.22 L Kelly 5.38
    W Bartone 5.21 L Brounkowski 12.50
    W Lucas 5.28 L Thacker 5.33
    W Wells 5.31 L Datweiler 8.45
    W Hirata 5.29 L Shields 5.32
    W Bourke 5.27 L Myers 5.30
    W Gunderson 5.25 L Stark 5.24

    R2 1 pm Monday
    W Bradhsaw 5.23 L Gunderson 5.34
    W Reichert 5.21 L Bourke 5.31
    W Bartone 5.23 L Hirata 9.98
    W Lucas 5.29 L Wells 5.35

    R3 230 Monday
    W Bradshaw 5.26 L Lucas 5.31
    W Bartone 5.28 L Reichert 5.36

    Finals 430 Monday
    W Bradshaw 6.35 L Bartone 6.90

    Bradshaw launches into big wheelstand, pedals it to set it down. Bartone goes into tiresmoke at the hit, and has to pedal it pushing a headgasket with a big fireball, but he doesnt lift. Bradshaw is able to reel him in with dropped cylinders of his own. Not the blockbuster numbers we expected, but exciting to say the least.

    Hows that for a prediction??

    Will,
    I'm printing your predictions and taking them to Indy with me. I'll let you know how much you owe me next week.

    Will from what I heard from other teams in Cecil County Bartone and Bourke Next National event will be Maple Grove. I could be wrong though. I believe Federline, Nicholson and Jeff Wilson can run in the 30's providing the air is right. John Haley has been looking good too. All I can say is its gonna be a good show! TAFC should be good as well with Manzo and Austin duking it out for the National Championship.

    Going with the heart, and sticking to my BAD guns. Anyway, NHRA will screw the racers out of at least one session or move one of the quick sessions.

    To clarify the 9 blown cars vs. 8 others.

    A car will get in as an alternate making the 17 cars.

    No records on Thursday. BAD car on the top of the field (Thacker) . One question. Thacker's car ran under a guardrail at the turnoff. Does anyone know how bad it was hurt????????

    Just wondering. Thacker is one of the nicest guys I know.
