BTW. Nice video.
Yes - now that you remind me they had no Black Cherry Ice Cream either as they said they were not prepared for such a large crowd.

Oh well - there is always next year.

YEP!
Can't wait for next year. This is my second time attending and I had a great time once again. I'm kinda sorry I missed most of the action but at least I got to see the semi and final rounds.
Many thanks to Buschur Racing for having such a great event!

Very nice photos, I agree, thank you very much for posting them.

Kevin Lawson drove my Bad Bish. Trent Stanley drove Project White.

Kevin got knocked out first round of Q16 but ran 9.17, 9.13 and 9.13 in a row at the of the day.

Trent won EVO Stock Appearing, ran a best of 10.70, no power shifting on the MT drag radials.

Chris Young won the Stock Appearing Dyno trophy with 494 whp/507 ft lbs.

The rear end squat on the AWD's. I've tried both ways, keeping the front end planted and trying to keep only the rear end planted. What's the best way? It may come down to driving style and preference honestly. Right now I am playing with the Bad Bish to reach a happy medium to be honest. From the pictures posted it appears as though my car has the best control of the rear camber, which I am really glad to see, one thing for sure you want to keep the rear tires as close to 0 camber as you can when the car leaves the line, same goes for the front, otherwise you lose your contact patch. The Bad Bish ran 1.44, 1.43 and 1.44 sixty foot times on the last three 9.1 passes it made Sunday.

Trust me.. I would dance too if I took out curt Brown.. That is no easy feat.. It just wasnt his day.. You did good under pressure AL i have to say.. The lights you cut on the protree heads up 3x in a row cannot be disputed.. Youve had some bad luck over the last couple years but YOUR BACK NOW!!!!

Do you mean the inner hollow shaft coming out of the center diff?

If so Ricardo make a stronger one if your interested. I snapped mine once and run the uprated one now. I think Shep is gonna make some eventually.
