    I thought they were looking for 10.5 cars for Tucson?? Did you trailer your car down there just to find that out?

    There weren't many 12 second cars because no one actually thought they would pick a 12 second class! Alot of the guys I know (that run 12's) didn't run for that reason. I thought they were joking when they announced it until they started shooting out names and car numbers. What a letdown, basically, Pinks was an expensive Test and Tune! I could have seen 12 second cars on a regular Friday night!

    They didn't pick 10.5 cars. They picked 12.5

    I got my motor back from the machine shop on Thursday night, wrenched until midnight, fired the car about 11:30 Friday morning, trailered it down, made the first pass on the fresh motor at Pinks ran 10.21, made an adjustment and ran 10.08, couldn't hook Saturday morning and ran 10.33 (spinning through the 330).

    The best class was probably the mid-high 9 second class.

    I'm not pissed I didn't get picked. I just think a 12.50 class is a disappointment for the 8,000 (or so) people who paid $20 to get in.

    and i would agree! granted 12 seconds is still moving, its just not that exciting when you have a field full of 9-10 second cars. i wonder what thier thought process was...

    We where definately suprised. I prolly woulda made it just running the motor. Instead I ran it on the bottle, and broke the rear-end. I even thought my mid-elevens where gonna be too slow, there where so many fast cars there.
