TEST/PRACTICE PUSH STARTS

Again this year the test push starts were required for any new driver or a driver in a new car. Then there were many vets who just got out to make sure everything was good to go for Saturday night. They were done mostly during the several breaks in the program. For the first time in a few years they were allowed to push up the track instead of the push road. And yes, those who did come out got the coverage.

Robert Reel checking out the Burkholder Bros. AA/FA. Regular driver Harry (Burkholder) didn’t come down from Idaho for the event, having just moved. It was good to see Jay Carpenter driving his red/silver Suburban as the push vehicle for them. Gave him a chance to participate even though his dragster stayed home.
