Check out these pictures from last weekend at Lebanon Valley. Big turnout of race and show cars.  I entered my AAR Cuda in F.A.S.T. for the first time. Didn't do too bad , qualified # 9 out of 18 cars at 12.69 at 109 MPH.   I'm hooked though went racing at street night and left the polyglas tires on and ran  12.55 , 12.57 , 12.675, 12.70 , 12.54 all at around 109 MPH.  60  foot times as low as 1.88 but average is 1.95 .

Like any race series FAST has the real diehard make it run as fast as you can. Tom has the T/A sorted out really good  :worship:. Steve was having clutch issues after trailering in from Kansas.  :thumbs:   I still had a good time even as slow as I was.
