12:11 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 80 degrees, relative humidity 10 percent,
barometer 29.92 inches. Two second head start for Sigmon and it's good thing! He is away with a
good RT and misses the excitement behind him. Deceglie leaves with a strong 1.014 sixty-foot time
and the Vette make a hard move towards the centerline right after that. He pulls the car back
towards the center of the lane and initially looked OK, but the car headed back towards the center
line again. He fights the car back and forth and then drifts over the 1000 foot block. He finally
gets the chutes out and barely stays off the guard rail in the lights. WAAAY TOO MUCH FUN!!
We
are down for cone replacement.
