A big congrats goes out to Frank and Walt. Walt drove the car to victory lane and took home the East Coast Shootout II quick 8 title. Way to go guys. It was a great time and it was nice to finally meet you in person along with the rest of the Rocksand racing crowd!
A few details; Frank was the #1 qualifier for the quick 8 with a 9.299. My qualifying pass netted a 9.35. In the first round of eliminations, I forgot where I was at LOL and turned on the red light against the number 7 qualifier. Unfortunately, Walt and I didn't get to line up for the final but did make a pass afterwards in which I redlit......again. I ran a 9.303 to Walts 9.300. It would have been quite interesting at the finish line had I not cheated. :) I look forward to a rematch!

I must say I really enjoyed seeing Frank's car in person. That car is simply wicked and definitely well built. Kinda cool they came all the way from the great white north just to play with us rednecks.

Travis I just got home Frank has another hour and Al and Melissa with the traffic we were running into maybe not until midnight. Thank you and everyone for your hospitality it was great that track is absolutely beautiful like a picture postcard.........by the way I was standing at the end of the track and when those two cars came by at 150mph the sound was awesome and the force unbelievable it was worth the trip just for that run.

that sounded like an awesome place to stand wish you had video of that, like an end of the track straight on video would have been bad ass..........
