Default Tell us about BOP day at Cordova

Because of the rain and switching to 1/8 mile I did not attend. Anyone have stories and photos to share with us?

Beside’s the 1/8th which I have only done once before and I sucked at it, they also were doing their World Series rain date makeup finals.

Long day T&T didn’t start till after 1:00, went out I. The 2nd round around 5:15

Only took these pictures

Switching to 1/8 mile seems to be a trend.

It doesn't entertain me !

Thanks for the pics, also. I was close to the track, driving in the rain, when I decided to go to Earlville. I really wanted 1/4 mile test runs and work on launch rpm's for reaction times with the new stuff I put on the car. Glad they had the event!

They ran 1/8 due to weather conditions, and i was told the turnout wasn't that good, i assume people didn't go because of the weather.

I was told they ran 1/8 mile because they couldn't dry the shut down because the surface was to rough.

Had I known it was going to be run 1/8th I would have made it. Due to breakage and the age of all my junk in the car right now along with a 4.88 gear I opted to sit this year out.
