A good day for Mopar at Topeka
« on: June 01, 2009 - 09:35:48 PM »
AJ broke his long winless streak in Pro Stock and beat all the mega-buck Summit and Jeg's cars after qualifying #2, going low for every round but the final where he beat the red-hot #1 qualifier Mike Edwards with a hole shot.
 
In Super Stock, Lloyd Wofford, who was low qualifier at the last race with a sub-9 second pass with his SS/JA small block Aspen made it to the final round from the #6 qualifiying position with a string of 10.3's including a perfect light in round 4 until his game .021 light in the final just wasn't quite enough to overcome a .006 light by a 7 time national event winner.

In Stock eliminator A V/SA 1980 Dodge Diplomat was #1 qualifier with a -1.265 14.535 on a 15.80 index :lol: and S.E. Buchanan used a string of great lights to get to the final round in his '67 Barracuda.

Once we had Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope & Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama, No Hope and No Cash!

Sweet! Those are some very nice pictures. You know, every year I tell myself, "next year I'm gonna go to Topeka for the races", because it's only a couple hours away, but it seems that other things always come up.

You forgot to mention that Ron Capps won funny car in his Hemi Charger.

Not too often that the Mopar teams double up in pro-stock and funny car.

Show me a Top Fueler or Funny car that Doesn't have a Hemi. And you can include ProMod too. Still a few BB Chevy Nitrous guys running, but not many.
