As most of you likely already know; heavy rain before last weekend's NHRA National event in Reading PA saturated the grassy areas of the pits and forced NHRA to restrict access to only the Pro classes, plus Alcohol cars and Comp. The other Sportsman classes were rescheduled to this weekend, and after final qualifying concluded today our local boys are looking good.
In Stock Fred Thibeault is #3 in a 48 car field:
3 1557 B/SA Fred Thibeault, Annapolis Co. NS, '69 Cama 10.166 11.25 -1.084
In Super Stock John Armstrong is #7 in a 58 car field:
7 1116 SS/AA John Armstrong, Kingston NS, '69 Corvette 8.724 9.70 -0.976
Also, ex-pat Nova Scotian Brian Oakes is #20 in John's old '69 Camaro:
20 2074 SS/BA Brian Oakes, Taylorsville NC, '69 Camaro 9.001 9.90 -0.899
They had class run-offs today, and John also won his class yet again.
Good Luck tomorrow guys!

The Dutch Classic at Maple Grove held on Oct. 15-16 also went well. The Maritime Stock and Super Stock racers participating with their cars were: Wendell Howes and his SS/AH '68 Hemi Cuda, Mark Howes and his SS/JA '71 Duster, John Armstrong and his SS/AA '69 Corvette, and Kelly MacKay and his G/SA '72 Demon. Myself and Jim Burns went there with Mark and Bill Sheppard went with Kelly, and we saw at least a dozen other Maritimers there spectating as well, so this region was well represented. Ir rained until late Friday, so the racing was squeezed into Saturday and Sunday. The Hemi Shootout was held Saturday as was Class. Wendell went 2 rounds in the Shootout and had the power to win but ultimately a tendancy for big wheelstands that couldn't be calmed down in time did him in. Mark won his class in SS/JA. On Sunday, Kelly and Wendell went out in the first round, while Mark lasted until he met up with John in the third round. John went to the final three in a field of 79 Super Stockers. All in all a good time was had by all! Here's a link to some photos of the Shootout; including some photographic evidence of how Wendell had his hands full! www.hemishootout.net/index.php?op....y=27&Itemid=116 |
