Post by: Steve Wood on July 25 2017, 09:39:30 PM: Someone spent some bucks to get a tuner to fly in. Who has cars that need one up there? How come they don't go to the track?

Post by: daveismissing on July 25 2017, 10:03:24 PM: I cannot explain why only 5 turbo cars showed up the next day at Norwalk.
I thought the two events dovetailed nicely, some complained Dick Millers event was poorly publicized (outside of Olds forums I suspect this is true).
Probably 3x that number in V8 Buicks, suspect the Olds guys don't hate them as much.

Misters Beal and Park were there in the morning and can report how many cars were tuned.

I guess Rob O (forcefed3.8) b got his money's worth with an 8.75... 8)

Post by: 1KWIKSIX on July 26 2017, 07:14:53 AM: Decided not to take my car....... long range weather forecast was for rain and thunderstorms which definitely came to fruition Friday night / Saturday.
Dragway 42 was shut down on Saturday because of mother nature.
