Outlaw 10.5

The 2008 season gets under way at Capitol Raceway with both OPS and DR taking to the track, With many of the Drag Radials at MIR that left the pot up for grabs for the 5 cars that did make the show, With Outlaw Pro Street only 6 cars made the show with many of the racers from last season not showing up for the 1st race. But with it being early in the season and many of the drivers not having their cars ready yet we hope the next race will bring even more of both classes to put on an even better show. I have talked with a few car owners over the past few weeks and I know of 2 cars that will make the show at capitol in the next race and I have seen pictures of one of the cars and I can tell you (the OPS fans) that you are in for a treat when this good looking mean machine hits the track. One more thing before we get to the race. You can see on the main page that opsracingmd has now started a drivers profile page, this will include both OPS and DR drivers. so please if you would like your info posted then contact me by email or phone ( dan@dnsphotography.com or 301-980-7461) or see me at the track so I can get your info.

THE FRIDAY NIGHT PARTYYYY is under way with OPS being the 1st to take to the track.
1st round of Qualifying.
JJ (The Kid) Rogers Broke right after the burn out looked like he could not get the car in reverse, But I found out later that it was a gear box problem. Get that fixed Jeff and get him back on the track.
James Houston .482 on the tree with an et of 4.96 at 141.46 MPH.
Doug Farace .519 on the tree with an et of 5.33 at 131.82 MPH
Dave Tolley .478 on the tree with an et of 5.49 at 141.37 MPH
Geneva Williams .589 on the tree with an et of 4.89 at 146.99 MPH
Chuck Ulsch .442 on the tree with an et of 5.85 at 94.06 MPH
This would leave Geneva Williams the number 1 qualifer after round 1 but I was told Geneva did ride over the scales and the round did not count. this is hear say at this point. I did not talk to the starter to get my facts sorry I will try harder next time.
