With only one time trial on satauday because of rain on and off, prescott raceway had three cars make it into the 16 car runoff, pinks picked a 9:80 field I think it was, Casey Nichols with a new paint job, James Camp, and Rod Whitmore blue mopar. Things started off with Whitmore and Camp rolling out first to be the first pair down the track, Camp said Rod got a small lead of about a fender and held on it all the way, close but no cigar for Camp, remember Camp car is a no/E car and had no transbrake, talking to Rod his car runs something like a 5.13 gear I think he told me, Camp was using a 3.73 gear to run the quarter mile. Nichols had a good run but got beat, just by a small amount, really could not see his race very well because of standing room only. The place was packed, anyway to get to finals and not take anything form Whitmore, Rod won two more rounds and got to the finals. Rod won the first race beating I think a luv or S-10 truck, next round the truck won the race, the truck looked like it was more set up for the quarter mile, seemed to come on strong on the top end, anyway the truck did the same in the next race, winning the finals in the two of three shoot out rounds, all I can say is this the way I saw it, and and remember it, it was about 11:30 at nite and my big azz was very worn out, I had been at the track since Thursday. Also hats off to Steve Pennington who set low et and got I think $500 for it at 7.98 at 169 mph in the red probe, David Nichols the red mustang racer I would say got 2nd place in the wheelie show, the car left hard got up pretty good then started going left close to the wall, had to lift and bring it back getting up on two wheels again but it was the right side front and rear off the track, everything ok on his car. the guy that won the wheelie show looked like all four tires came off the ground, looked like he blowed out the right front tire, had to be pushed off the track, the standing room only crowd went wild. A lot more to tell but I'm gone, prescott racers you made us VERY HAPPY. later
