That's correct "in normal" NHRA type eliminations. But in Pinks All Out, after they come down to the final pair of cars from the 32, they run a "best out of three", or maybe "a best out of five" for the TV final drama.

It's best to have the most consistant car that will also be able to be "hot lapped", IMO.

Thanks for the information..now I'll know how much gas, nitrous and food to bring along!!

Well, that's IF a group of cars running the same ET group that you fall into is selected to actually run for the money.....If not, you get to pound on your car for two passes, then be a spectator.....

Neat concept other then that... If they'd get rid of Rich, I might even watch it once in awhile.... The little bit of interest the show actually holds for me is killed by him and the others who run the event.....

Thanks everyone for your input and good wishes. The September 12 All Out Race will air on Thanksgiving weekend....I'll give you an update prior to that.

I`ve got an entry also, I`m running an 84 Camaro it will be the black and white one. You will know it when you see it. I`m leaving thursday after work so we will be late that night not sure how they are handling that stuff. Going to try to e-mail the track to see what to expect. I`m already nervous went and tuned Friday night up at Sac alot of cars there doing the same. I`ll look for your 40.

I'll look for your Camaro when I get there Friday morning. I'll be in my '40 Chevy which is all red, cragars and fenderwell headers.

Ron

I was wondering what et`s you are running with your 40 ? I`m running best of 11:35 @120 to 11:70 @114 depending what the weather is going to be. I`m expecting it to pretty hot so I`m thinking 11:50 might be the best I`ll get.

I expect to run around 11.40 - 11.50. So, we'll see where that might get me.

Well it looks like we will be in the same time trials so that would be cool.

It was great meeting you at Bakersfield...sorry I couldn't give you a better race when we met at the line. My last run yesterday was my best of the weekend...unfortunately my transbrake didn't work so I just had to idle at the line until Rich's armdrop when down...ended up with a 11.87. After that I just left for the day. I heard that the final 32 cars were around 10 - 10.5.

Take care,

Ron

Ron,

It was cool that we got to run each other at Pinks. My car got way hot after the arm drop run and I`m sure I couldn`t have hot lapped it even I got picked.We knew the girl driver that made the 32 car field she made it to the final four and got beat by a friend of hers who then got beat by the 29 ford who won the whole thing. Next year it will be at Sonoma so try to make it up here.

When you came over to the pit area where I was at, you might have noticed the '57 Chevy and the '51 Chevy on both sides. These two cars made it into the final 32 as well. The '51 lost in the first round but as I understand the '57 won his first round and lost the second round by .0001. Those guys were excited since they were up at the line with Rich on TV.

Thanks about the Sonoma races...how'd you hear so fast?
