Another great race weekend has come to an end and we have the results right here..
For starters, the Friday Night Instant Green street drags enjoyed another great event with good car count and a fair sized crowd in the stands. approximate numbers were 30(ish) registered street racers and I think 16 or so “Kelowna Street Outlaws” The night was started by a terrible oil down on the FIRST pass of the night…ouch. Devon V. rolled his “Murder Nova” clone into the burnout box and spun up the tires, only to have the balancer separate from the crank snout..and in doing so, the balancer somehow managed to slice the front of the oilpan open and the machine evacuated all its fluid down the entire track and large section of the return road during his run…sploosh! .. On the upside, the track crew and several additional racers and crews had the track cleaned up and ready to race in just over a half hour. Even Devon was out there right away to help sweep, ..good man.
By the end of the night it was clear that Jordy Lazic was still the man to beat in the “Kelowna Street Outlaws” with a blistering 5.45 at over a hundred and thirty miles per hr ..WOW … for the regular instant green racers, the fast car in the Import ranks was a Nissan Skyline that went 8.14s …and Domestic fast pass was a ’07 supercharged stang that went 7.40-something I think. As soon as the night was over, Jordy and Roy loaded up at 11pm and headed for Rimbey Alberta for 10am qualifying for the Heads Up street event there… thats hardcore!
How do I even Begin ?
How about this, An All Time attendance record for the Friday Night Instant Greens ,.. A “Doorslammer” Record during the “Fastest Street Car Shootout”
.. And a NEW TRACK RECORD!!!! BAM!!
This July weekend will go down in the history books as the biggest thing to hit Thunder Mountain since the Facility opened in ’95 with NITRO Cars.
Friday opened the show to a packed house,.. and I mean PACKED!! I have never, as announcer at TMR seen the crowds the swarmed our humble facility that night..WOW .. over a thousand spectators would be a gross understatement. Period. over 1000 bodies paid at the gate alone! This doesn’t count the class racers crews,and “sneakers” that always find their way in . I hope you all enjoyed the show!
57 Machines entered the Friday show, including the “Kelowna Street Outlaws” that have made TMR their home for the 2016 season. as well as the “Fastest Street Car Shootout” Competitors making test hits during the street drags program. and what a program!
To start the night off, the first pair of cars to hit the line Friday night included Jason Gagnon and his ’69 Chevy Camaro.. who wound that sucker up as the lights came down on the tree,.. and BOOOM!! ,. A Nitrous Backfire that lit up the stands and flowed over the windshield and roof of the car!! DO WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW ?? .. HA! what a way to start the show. The Massive crowd went NUTS…and that was just the start of an unbelievable weekend.
