No using the "R" word!!! Naughty, naughty ....

 

These are the radio stations broadcasting ads for the 2014 Atlanta $10,000. Drag racing ads on the radio station? Yep ... just like the old days!!!

 

That was probably the S-10 that attempted to T-Bone the tower coming out of the burnout box

 

I hate to miss this one again.

Yup that s10 was very lucky, it could've gotten ugly real fast. Speaking of fast, that joker was cooking when he got it to hook.

 

I'm bringing Go-Rilla

This shot was from last weekend. Looking forward to it!

For those HAMB members attending tomorrow's event, be sure to stop by the HAMB Meet & Greet tent, which will be part of the Geezer Alley area right behind the bleachers up near the starting line. There will be a sign in book.

 

Apparently there are some people confused about the pay out in Gas Eliminator.

There were 6 cars in Gas Eliminator. 1 in A/Gas, 3 in B/Gas, and 2 in D/Gas.

We run Class eliminations and a Run Off eliminations between the Class winners. If there is one car in a class there is no purse for that class but the one car in that class moves into the Run Off eliminations. If there are less than 4 cars in each class the class purse is $150 to the winner. The Run Off eliminations pays $200 to win and $80 to runner up. The total purse paid in Gas Eliminator was $580. All purses were paid.
