JLP, LFP and PSP attended the event. REM and JDM did not make it. We also missed SCT, FT/Dieselsite.com (Florida weather problems). Todd from TCE did fly in and installed the brake setup for Airtroop 1.....who put a rod through the block on the first run Friday morning.
JL did make two sub-9 second passes Saturday evening after cleaning out the fuel system. The race gas was shipped in metal cans and the gas was rusting the inside of the cans.
We ended up with 144 registered participants, down 9 from last years 153.
Open Track will never be a part of any future LF that we have anything to do with (only a few Lightnings participated in the OT)! Any HD trucks that wishs to participate in any future LF may do so, but will not have separate drag or show classes....the HD's were a NO SHOW (~14)!
We did have TV coverage on Friday and were on TV live twice on Saturday. The Topeka newspaper printed an article on LF, which was published on Monday. Here is the link to the article online.

The True Street Truck class had 20 participants..fun even though the rules were changed to accommodate the tracks timing equipment...6 cops leading 20 trucks!
We have not run the final numbers yet, but it looks like we may have broke even this year.:tu:
More later!
