Friday morning was pretty quiet in the pits. Thursday was a Test and Tune day where some racers took advantage of it, some just sat back and relaxed with confident combinations.
Steve Matusek is running NMCA Pro Street for the second time this year. His first time was during the season opener in Bradenton. They had the Mustang in Milan for exhibition passes for the NMRA race. Steve also plans to make the finals in Memphis.
Tony Bischoff had his car fixed up with a primer front end after his wreck in New Jersey. The frame wasn't damaged too bad but he has not tested the car since it has been fixed.
Bruce Kemp is a 100 pounds heavier since the mid season rule changes. There was a lot of controversy in regards to the new Pro Stock mid season rules. He did not test at all on Thursday and was seen in the pits tuning up his carb before qualifying.
When you think Nostalgia Pro Street, you think of old muscle cars. This '72 AMC Gremlin is a poster child of just that. Don Rayburn runs his first race of the season this weekend. He had lost a few sponsors and has been running on a limited budget.
Tony Nesbit shaved 300 pounds off his Super Street Corvette in Atco and it has helped dramatically. The whole OEM front end and doors were replaced along with the glass. During testing on Thursday, the tires shook hard on the Vette but managed to stay on par for how the car has been performing.
Last years Nostalgia Pro Street Champion Jeff Kolleta went a 7.52 in practice yesterday. The motor has been freshened since it was over revved and hurt in Atco. Straight Line Chassis has also helped Jeff out sorting a new rear suspension setup. He is hoping for a 7.49 in the heat today.
Uncle Robin running for the first time this year. They have been doing a ton of short track testing, especially in the 60 foot area. Robin ran consistent 5.09s in the eighth and an 8.20 lifting at a 1000 feet.
