7:02pm –
ThatÕs a wrap! ItÕs been a crazy weekend here at Numidia Dragway. WeÕve had
records broken, riders go down, weather issues, etc. You name it, it happened!
But overall it was a great weekend! Please keep both Douglas Horne and John
Breckenridge in your thoughts this week. They both wound up going to the
hospital to get checked out. They are both tough competitors and we hope to see
them back at Norwalk! Thank you to everyone who came out to the first (and
hopefully not the last) year of this race here at Numidia. See you in two weeks
at Norwalk! - Donna

– This day has been anything but uneventful! Right now weÕre on a break
from Top Fuel Round 2 of qualifying. Douglas Horne just made an incredible
pass. Unfortunately right after he went off his bike at 200+mph. His bike went
up over the hill, down another 700 feet of asphalt, through the sand trap,
through the fence, and landed in the neighborsÕ field while he went tumbling
down the track. He is up and moving but has been transported for safety. His
bike on the other hand has yet to be determined but I canÕt imagine that it
could be good. Hopefully he will make a speedy recovery. Keep him and his
family in your thoughts. John Breckinridge also took a spill this morning in
Round 1. He was up and moving and was not transported but also keep him in your
thoughts for a speedy recovery as well. We also had an oil spill that put us
out of commission for close to an hour too. Although the weather has been
weighing on our minds it seems to be the least of our problems right now. We
should be getting started again soon. Stay tuned for more updates.

– This update is a little late but we have begun racing. This morning we
ran two rounds of eliminations in Syn 3 ET. We are working on Round 1 of Top
Fuel right now. Will we set new records again today? I guess weÕll have to wait
and see. Check back throughout the day for updates! - Donna

– Well we were able to get it all in today and boy what a day it was! We
have 3 new mph records as of right now and we could have more tomorrow. The new
mph record holders as of right now are Jim Sweet (V-Rod), Douglas Horne (Pro
Fuel), and Andy Simon (Pro Stock). ItÕs been a great weekend so far and weÕre
hoping that tomorrow will be even better. We will be running two rounds of ET
in the morning starting at 10:00am. No other classes will run in the morning.
See you all tomorrow! - Donna
6:00pm
– We are going into Round 3 of qualifying for Top Fuel. Stevie has been
banned from having any sugar and weÕve duct taped him to his chair. IÕm trying
to keep him under control but IÕm not making any promises. LetÕs see a new
record! - Donna
4:15pm
– I am at a loss for words. These guys are laying down some numbers here
today! ItÕs not official yet but we possibly have 3 new mph records in 3
different pro classes!! If you are not here, you are missing some unbelievable
racing. I have StevieÕs high blood pressure pills ready up here because IÕve
never seen him so excited! The results are up for qualifying round 2 and we are
moving right along into qualifying round 3. We are ready to set some records!
Stay tuned! - Donna
2:02pm
– Well, round 1 of qualifying is finally in the books. We had to stop for
some sprinkles but weÕre hoping to get the rest of the day in without any other
stops. With the exception of the rain, the weather is perfect and these bikes
are putting down some good numbers. -Donna
9:20am
– Good Morning racers and fans! It looks like today is going to be a
beautiful day. WeÕre running now and weÕre working on our first round of
sportsman qualifying. ThatÕs all for now. - Donna
