Atlanta FFW

The conditions in Atlanta are pretty harsh,
mainly windy, but the track is in OK condition.
Here's the major news:

FFW and the NHRA Safety techs did indeed ban
aftercooler tanks. There were no blown aftercooled
Pro 5.0 cars, but Mike Murillo was asked to
remove his aftercooler water tanks in the
back of the car.

Without the cooler active, Mike still ran in
the 8.90's at almost 160-mph, but not enough
to stop the rain of Dennis Lugo, who sits on
the pole at 8.65/163 and change.

In Pro 5.0, there are about 7 cars competing,
including Baer, Markwich, Holman, and a few
others. Les Baer didn't get a clean pass,
in the first qualifying session he broke
a locator in the rear suspension and swerved
hard to the right and through good driving
avoided a crash. Markwich is dialing in his
new 400ci/Sheetmetal combination, and hasn't
yet been able to put down a full pass.

No 9's in Renegade yet.

Holman sets #1 Qualifier in the Brent Frazier/Gullett 400 Single Four. Gullett lends Markwich his old 381 Sheetmetal that ran 8.0's at 178 in his car. Markwich
chassis is better and should go 7.80's no problem.
