My hat's off to Bill Miller Engineering for telling like it is:
His racing effort is solely a R&D test bed for their products. Hell of an R&D Budget!!!
Night time action shots are really where the camera fails. It's amazing what 16,000 horsepower going by at close to 300 MPH is like!!
Those blurry flashes of light over the guy's head in the yellow shirt are the flames coming out of the headers.
There was another storm getting pretty close, so I left the fence before the last run of the night. I wish I would have stayed. I was just on the other side of the bleachers when Antron Brown went down the track. 3.773, but Spencer Massey had the top speed of Fridays qualifying at 326.79 mph. Going that fast in just 1,000 feet just boggles the mind.
I was really, really happy to see Chris "The Greek" Karamesines
qualify for the show at 4.001 at 300.00 mph! He's either 82, 83 or 84 years old depending on who you listen to, and Lucas Oil announced that they'd sponsor him for as long as he continues to race.
