Qualifying day two here in Bradenton, it’s a bit warmer that we would like but warm and sunny is much better than rain. There is a good count of LSX cars here this weekend and some record capable performance in some classes.
Check back today, Saturday, and Sunday for ongoing results, photos, and updates from the track.

I spoke with Darren Breaud from B & B Race Cars about his GTO and about whats going with this 5th gen Camaro now running in LSX All Motor. The GTO lifted some ring lands yesterday and they did not have enough spare piston on hand so have decided to leave it be, and repair the engine at home and be ready for Atlanta. This car now features a 420 cubic inch unit from Bischoff Engine Service using the Edelbrock LSR heads. The first run was a very nice 8.50 and now into the 8.30 range bumping the limiter at 1000 feet so a gear ratio change is coming soon, if not this weekend..
Jon Ebert drives the shop car for Lingenfelter Performance which is painted in memory of founder John Lingenfelter's first Super Stock win at teh Indy US Nationals in 1972. The car features a 346 cubic inch LS engine with a flat plane crank boosted by a single 76 MM turbo. other sponsors include ATI, Advanced Chassis, Big Stuff 3 and Bowers Paint Studio.
Paul Falcon runs this white Trans Am in Real Street out of the LS1excitement camp in Durham, North Carolina. The car has a stock bore block, stock heads CNC'd by Patriot Performance with a stroke crank to displace 420 ci. he runs a plate nitrous system from Wilson and is mandated by class rules to a 4150 based throttle body. He purchased the car new and it still has less than 700 miles on it.

Steven Fereday set the pace for LSX Drag Radial with a fine 7.23 @ 197 and set top MPH last night at 201. Mark Koehler is just a tenth behind but also knocking on the 200 MPH barrier so both cars are showing similar power here this weekend. Michael Meeks set a record for a fifth gen LSX powered car with his 8.15 @ 168, while newcomer Mike Rimar had his personal best 8.52 @ 160. enough to make him happy but still last on the sheet.
