Sacramento Bugorama updates
Hi everyone,
Just got back to the hotel after a great day of action at the Sacramento Bugorama practice/qualifying sessions.
Now 10.30pm here so I'll try and get a few pics up and some video over the next few days when I get a chance to upload it all to the net. Will also
try a bit harder to remember some of the ET/MPH details of the runs as today was a bit of a blur taking in all the amazing set ups/cars/racing.
Basic summary is that this event was to have the biggest Pro Mod field to date although Eric Madsen lunched his motor early in his second qualifying
pass so that will cut the field down a little.
Richie Webb (UK vert) ran into the 9s and I'm pretty sure Eric Madsen and Eric Calabrese (Red Barron) ran into the 8s in their runs (before
aforementioned problems).
Roger Crawford is running well in Super Street as are some of the other field (one from memory into the high 9s).
Anyway, like I said, sorry for the sketch details - a bit more will come back to memory once I view the videos.
Cheers
Al
PS the real action starts tomorrow so stay tuned for updates!

I'll see what I can do Brennden, didn't see too many big type IV's today but will keep my eyes peeled tomorrow.
Just finished uploading all the photos from today to my website (not all racing related, some splitty stuff etc)....
http://dasrestohaus.com.au/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=5655
Will have to do vids tomorrow as its a new camera and don't know how to upload them yet 
Al
Other cool stuff seen today included the Eserini team run a new record for water cooled vw engines in their dragster with a 7.4x second quarter backed
up in a second run. Have met a heap of the racers like Muffler Mike, a few of the red barron team and others - all the names you read about in the
mags and on the net. Overall most people have been happy to chat to a nosy, drag-keen Aussie

Great day of racing again today...more updates later but for now Eric Madsen (Red Barron) (8.818 @ 170.67) took out pro mod final against Pat in the
Fiat (backed off before the line for 10.741 @ 87.75).

Lucky you Al, Would be a great experience, maybe one day.
I like how a lot of the turbo guys seem to be doing a similar setup to mine with the tanks over the heads and watercooling.
When I first did mine I couldn't find any info on this and took the gamble that it works. Do they seem to be performing?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,

Hey Heath, it does seem to be more prevalent in some of the cars now (IC atop inlet manifolds) - the main one I saw was Jeff Lovell (silver pro mod
beetle with the broken clutch) - really nice guy to chat to but I didn't go into depth about his setup.
I've just uploaded the Super Street final (side by side all motor 9 second passes between Roger Crawford and Doug Gonzalez who took out the
event).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea_PnrEPCGA
Bit of a long vid and funny angle but hopefully is worthwhile watching - I'm learning this whole video thing not having owned one before! will get
more vids up over the next couple of weeks (takes ages to upload!).
