We had spectacular weather and a good turnout for the race. Thanks for the help on Friday Rick! I believe the car count was 114, but 2 cars were disqualified for going too fast for the safety rules. I was paired up for the 3 round shootout with a beautiful Buick GSX. I had qualified with a best run of 13.58 on Friday, and the Buick ran 13.52. I won the first round with a new personal best of 13.39. @ 101.7 mph verses the Buick's 13.65 @ 100 mph. The second round was very close with both of us in the 13.7's, the Buick having the better reaction time. I was catching up near the stripe but ran out of track, and I lost by .03 seconds. Third round I spun bad and got flat outrun as the big GSX ran it's best pass of the weekend at 13.51 to my 13.86. The old AMX did pretty well, but the driver could sure use some practice slipping the clutch more consistently during the launch lol... 20180915_155810_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr A few of the guys from the AMC club came to watch, and we had our own little car show in the pits. Here are a few misc pics of our group, and a few from the staging lanes. I wish I would have taken more pictures, so many cool cars! 20180915_122944_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_123004_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_110910 by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_110209_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_110158_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_110225_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_110121_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_110102 by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_105842_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_110133_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_133118_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_133054_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr 20180915_133132_HDR by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr

That is a beautiful shot of the two "Xs" together. Great contrast in color. I would have expected better out of the GSX tho.

Thanks for dragging me along Joe! Are you bringing the AMX to Milan this week end for the Nostalgia Drags? Maybe, gotta see if we're doing O/T at work or not.
