And they're off..........

[CLA55IC]

Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun wish I were there.

[street72]

Way too much fun.. Keep it up..

[BluLightning]

correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought the classes were at the even numbers (10.00, 11.00, 12.00......etc).
if that's the case, then boob's running too fast for 12.00 and way too slow for 11.00.

I believe that in Daily Driver, fastest average for the top 25 make the brackets the last day. They take the average for the week subtract some time, and that's your number you have to run in the brackets on the last day.

The latest text from Bob was around 8:00 pm and he said he and Alan were on their way to the next stop, Allen was speeding at the moment, and the car ran a 12.08 at 109. The heat was taking some out of the car. They had a small coolant leak but other than that, the 56 was doing well. He is 17th out of 100 in the daily driver class!!! GO MAN GO!!!!!

Here's the rules for DD:

DAILY DRIVER CATEGORY
•Daily Driver has no limitations on drivetrain or body modifications. Cars quicker than 10.80 are not
allowed in Daily Driver, and e.t. slips quicker than 10.80 will not be accepted.
•Daily Driver entries are not eligible to win Drag Week™ overall.
•Throttle stops and bracket-racing electronics of any kind are not allowed.
•Daily Driver is based on an Open Comp format. Each car’s five-day average e.t. will be used to
determine qualifying position on a 32-car ladder for a bracket race on the final day of Drag
Week™. At tracks with e.t. slips to four decimals, all four will be included; if only three decimals are
on the e.t. slip, then the fourth decimal will be zero. The e.t. averages will be taken out as many
decimal places as required to determine qualifying. Ties will be broken by average mph. The race
on the final day will be a 32-car field on a Sportsman ladder (1 races 17, 2 races 18, and so on)
and a 0.500-second full tree. Normal breakout and first-or-worst rules apply. Each car’s dial-in for
every round (the dial-in cannot be changed between rounds) will be the five-day average minus a
tenth, so a weekly average of 12.20 gets a dial-in of 12.10; in the event that a car averages 10.89
or quicker, the dial-in will be 10.80. Any run quicker than 10.80 will be considered a “worst” and will
lose the round. The bracket-race winner will be the overall Daily Driver Champ. In the event of a
rainout on the last day, the winner will be the quickest car with the best consistency throughout the
week. But there are also a lot of other potential prizes for Daily Driver racers, so read on.

Here's the latest from Bob and Allen:

Finished at Tulsa raceway
great track
turned in a 11:70 @ 115
should be in position to get into 32 car field bracket race
today 19th out of 100
car is running well, race was real slow today with rain twice, two oil down, great traction broke some cars, one gasser steering broke and touched the wall,
reaction times have been B+, taking off exhaust pipes, installing Moroso tall front tires, new plugs, maybe add little timing,
hope to get in few more practice runs tomorrow, turn in decent time. And bracket race,
Keith and Martin are working a lot on nova but still on course and making race tracks
we have stories
bob

His run is at the 30 minute mark on the 'live video' coverage......

[BluLightning]

Ed, do you know which Nova is Keith's?

[oletrux4evr]

Keith's is yellow with a wide, single black stripe. The other yellow one has 2 stripes.......and I think it's a '72.

[Vsolo]

This is Bob's car on the Hot Rod FaceBook page for Day 3.
I'll post it here too in case you don't visit the drag week thread

Hey - it's not like the Holiday Inn pits but it it what it is - even Bish showed up for shop class.

[redragtop]

So is Keith still in it or did he break?

[rexdogg]

good luck and best wishes to all of the participants, particularly Bob (1956NY150)....what a great adventure........rexdogg!

[oletrux4evr]

So is Keith still in it or did he break?

I think he's 'officially' out of it, but I'm not sure of the reason.....according to Bob's text he's still running, maybe just because he can......haven't heard from him.
On the Day 3 results, he's shown in blue at the bottom of the page, with zeros for Amarillo........not a good sign.......
