ACSSA RACE REPORT #3
PRESENTED BY COTTMAN TRANSMISSION
Greenfield Dragway, Nova Scotia August 23, 2015
The third race of the season saw the entry list slowly grow until the day of the event. The weather forecast for the weekend was a bit dismal. When the fog cleared we had 15 brave souls make the first qualifying pass with the debut of Phil Archibald’s trusty A/SA Tri Power Corvette stock entry. It was nice to see Phil back in this part of the country. Hopefully he enjoyed himself and will be a permanent fixture around our ACSSA events in the future.
With all cars 15 cars passing technical inspection and weigh in. It was time for first of two qualifying sessions with a density altitude of 2950 recorded.
