Sunday promises to be a great day of racing with weather to match. Extreme Street is looking to have some good competition along with Mickey Thompson 10.5. With the sun out most of yesterday the track was a bit tricky, today has some scattered cloud cover so things may be a bit better suited if it keeps up through the day. If the track holds it there may be some five second runs in Pro Street so stay tuned through the day for updates.

Eric Kenward lost a piston in the final session of 275 Drag Radial last night. Kenward and Atillio DeRosa pulled the engine and replaced it with a spare as many hard core nitrous racers often do, assorted parts on hand are a must when playing with the giggle gas. He is all fixed up and looking for some 7.70's today.
Fred Brunn runs Xtreme Street with this 69 Camaro built by Bill Lee Race Cars in Palmetto, Florida. originally built in 2008 this is the first time the car he has been out with this car in two years.

Mike Stavrinos did his job on the tree and ran his best of the weekend but it's wasn't enough to hold off Jimmy Keen's 231 MPH top end, still a good showing for a brand new ride. Josh Green hung Vinnie DeMieri out some at the line with both drivers going red and the 18 year old green taking the round.

Kinzer had a single this round putting up a 6.84 @ 224, very good run esp considering the work that it took getting the car back together.

MICKEY THOMSPON SS 10.5W They say a picture tells a thousand words and this one certainly does as Murillo gave it too much too soon allowing Willard Kinzer to slip by as the PTP racing crew set the Mustang up to leave a bit soft as the track conditions were not the best this afternoon. It was a well deserved win for the team after hurting the engine Friday night and missing any qualifying attempts Saturday while making repairs to the car.
