lots of 3rd gens @ Orlando WSF

Went to Orlando world street finals Sat. for qualifing and there was alot of 3rd gens there , doing especially well in the radial tire/ stock suspension class. Everyone I saw was using he new M/T radials. Saw 2 4th gen wheel stands towards the end of the night on radials. One camaro put it on the bumper 3 seperate times just kept getting into it and kept putting it back up on the bumper , didnt stay down to 1/2 track. Lots of great action there yesterday.

He didn't go. I guess he figured he'd let somebody else win the radial tire class for once.

hmm...that sucks. he said he went 8.59@159+ in memphis....can't believe that wagon is going that fast. he wanted 8.99 out of it when he first built it, that's it, just 8.99.

frickin' crazy.

with all the politica mumbo jumbo flipper put up with with the nsca earlier this year, i'm surprised he didn't show up at an event where there were no rules. he'd have completely dominated that event. probably would have made rick head crap himself.
