Sure glad you guys had fun. Don't rub it in. Stupid priorities got in the way.

Boudy, Thanks for the run down on how the TCC did. I'm somewhat confused. Is there more than one Overall Top Dog?

Is there more than one quick 8? Those used to be just as they state "Overall" (out of everybody) and only one category. Quick 8, meaning the quickest 8 times during time trials ran a heads up shootout. I asked these questions to Bill Belcher, after I received his report below. So far no answer from him.

A Superformance customer from Wisconsin, Bill Belcher, gave me this following report when I asked him how R and G went:

Doug,
Sorry you couldn't make it, we all missed you.
The Back Draft team only had one car in competition and one for display, the competition car ran in pro with a small block with a super victor and a accusump system, car had no windshield and ran a 1.0745 on the road course, car was strong the driver was good they had a large support team there.
Turn out was good about 40 car pre-registered and an additional 40 showed.
Cars of interest 4 Dragons, 3 GT-40's (Roaring Forties), 2 Lola T-70's, 2 Kirkham's with blown 4.6 cammer engines only one competed he was in street smallblock,
1 ultralight, 1 carbon fiber factory five with 420cid (Pete Torque) and Dave Koepp my friend from last year in his blue and white factory five cobra with my old motor Dave took 3rd place Top Dog Street Small Block.
As for me I ran in Pure Street Big Block this year they now have a new class called prepared street in 4&6 cyl, small block, big block, and power adder which they are allowed to run any DOT legal tire (basically race tires, including Hosier R303's) and can change tires for the different event.
I ran my old Michelin's (4 years on these tires so far) here's how I ended up doing:
Road Course 1st Place, Road Course Top Dog Second Place (edge out by the T-70 Lola in Small Block Street Prepared), Autocross First Place, Autocross Top Dog First Place (closest competitor 2+ sec behind), Drag Racing Quick 8 Second Place (red lighted on the old man Pete Torque wouldn't have had it any other way), and
First Place Overall Top Dog. Other highlights I ran a 11.34 & 127.8 mph with lots of wheelhop (Backdraft ran 116 mph but I didn't get his time, he approached me later after the drags and asked me details about my motor).


Congrats to Jay and Clois for carrring the TCC banner. Bill Bonadio always runs strong, is he a TCC member? Great job my Tony Martin, I think that is probably the fastest time turned by a Run and Gun participant. That is impressive. Whas that a standard BD car without a windshield? Would have loved to see him drive, as I understand he won Lemans as a Pro driver. Or was the Reg? Hope to see them at the Austin event.

Congrats to all,
Doug
