Must be some sort of local link. I'm in the Charlotte,NC area today, and I get links to Charlotte area stories, not Spec drags at Riverhead.

Are you telling me that not only did the s-10 show up (which i seen him in the lot at 5:40pm) ..after he missed the call out...last year....but the vette showed up also....? ? ? Is that what you are saying Pete...

I had updated my site, drag, tagged, fb that i would be present with the jeep sat at 6....


You know i really hate that damn site...it would have taken what 8 seconds to change the saturday start time from "HEAT RACES 4:30 PM, FOLLOWED BY PACE CAR PARADE AND NATIONAL ANTHEM, SHOW STARTS AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 PM" to this week only show starts at 4pm with spec drags leading the way.....

Damn i would have done it for free....

Neither of them will ever come back out....

"Note to the s-10" don't even bother to ask to run on the street.

Oh his 2009 vette.....ah forget it....

The black camaro should have had the win against the vette because I thought you had to stay above the white lines.

The Bullfather

black camaro pushed him down there, would you want to wreck your brand new vette? Even if The wild Child is a little crazy, he knew better, the camaro gave him no room, he was hugging the white line when Tommy was under him and started on the inside at the drop of the green. As they were headed into turn one, the black camaro came down and pushing the issue, so Tommy had nowhere to go, you'll see in the video, I just watched it myself.

Same reason you go to see a Cart, IRL, F-1, NHRA,IHRA, Nascar race in person........

C'mon rgee you're a camera man...Everyone knows the camera can not catch the speed....

Or do you really think F-1 cars enter and exit turns as slow as they look on TV? and TF/D look so docile...

bobby pease and myself where partially deaf for a min or so, after walter stroud's car backfired right next to us in the pits. All I heard was ringing, we thought we both had busted ear drums.

Wow i feel so terrible i wasn't informed of the EARLY start and the fans had to hear that winners circle rambling.....

I really do apologize for not being there...

After viewing the videos......

Tom drove it in below the line....i didn't see any force play...so that was a new configuration there Tom was running...

That bs move by the s-10 running Tom up to the wall after the finish was really uncalled for...

Jeff, i felt real bad for you having to make that interview...

Shoulda twisted his balls a little Jeff... tell him good thing for you the same guy that called you out last year and you didn't show, was late today....lmao

Tommy was down there but had no room to wash up as the camaro hugged the white line all around, maybe watch where the other car was running.

SuperShafts

I did watch him have control of turn 1 and what line to run... The flag man (forgot his name, sorry kid) went green, and he drove the nose right in under the line on turn 1/2 and then right below on 3/4, i didn't see any push down...like what slaugerties did with me...that's forcing the inside car to change lines when you run the outside line and keep .5" off the passenger side... That's ok with me, and now everyone gets the inside with me.

The camaro had no lead over his nose to force him below...he intentionally went below the line at the very start

The Bullfather

he was diming the corner like a BB but couldn't go up! lol

SuperShafts

So then it was intentional to drive in below and gain in position.. the other word for that is cheating....might as well get a jeep and drive thru the dirt..make it a 1/8 mile...
Sad part is this....
The vette way below the line...and the camaro had sneakers...
