Carbinator blew the turbo according to Ratcliff on facebook.

[Tman]

Yes, carbonite guys lost a turbo as per their text feed. Which by the way I wish more teams would do. I got updates all week long on my phone

Sounds like the 400mph+ hitters are done for the week. And what a great week it was. Congrats to Turbinator II on their top speed of the meet.

Thank you very much to Slim and Rich for bringing us the play-by-play.

Jon, after setting a record (return run) you must go directly to impound.

[jdincau]

Jon this is after setting the record not after a qualifying pass, after QUALIFYING you have an hour  to get there

[zzcruzin]

Kudos to Danny Thompson and Turbinator II. Very deserving to them both. Thanks Slim and Ron for all you did. Have a safe drive home Slim and Nancy and will look for your added post in a couple of weeks. Mark.
