Day Two of the 2011 Holley LS Fest is upon us, and we’re just about to head to the track to watch all the drag race qualifying, autocrossing, drifting, and speed stop challenging. Speaking of which, perhaps you might enjoy a few photos from the Baer Brakes SSC yesterday – competitors left the starting line at the green light, then ran down to the 1/8 mile mark where they had to come to a complete stop inside a box delineated with traffic cones. Quickest time start to finish wins, with a 4 second penalty for not coming to a stop within the box. As you can see, some were more successful than others…
Time to head for Beech Bend – keep checking back throughout the day for more photos and updates! As always, special thanks to our event coverage sponsor SCT Performance. Check out their fine line of tuners at www.sctflash.com.
Round 2 Qualifying Standings
Car Craft Engine Swap Challenge
Last year, the Engine Swap Challenge took a mere 31 minutes, 57 seconds. After the rules got tightened up this year, the smart money was on a time somewhere in the 45 minute range. Apparently, nobody told the guys at the School of Automotive Machinists that, because they managed to take the title this year and nearly eclipse the old record with a winning time of 38:32, despite problems when they first fired the engine.
Final Qualifying and Ladders
Well we got it all done just in time – literally minutes after the last cars ran down the track this afternoon, a brief but intense downpour soaked the track.
