Fidel broke and shone broke I believe. A Dodge went 11.2@125 and I went 11.4@125 and we are fastest.

Based on what I see so far, I would guess it should be Dmitri in 1st and Newly probably tied for 2nd with Joel Saunders.

What happen to Dimitri?? Traction problems?

I take back what I said about Newly being outclassed, obviously dynos don't show everything...

That's what my scoresheet shows.

As for Joel, is he from NH?

If so it's nice to see a "local" (Northeast) representing even if it is in a Dodge :)

Motorsports in the Northeast is weak to begin with so it's nice to see someone representing (and doing fairly well).

Dimitri's dyno numbers have always been well above his track times.
It's one of the things critics have bashed for (saying his numbers are inflated).
Regardless he dyno'd the higher tq/hp on the same dyno same day and still got beat on the track.

Keep in mind, if you don't finish the DPC you can't win, so sometimes conserving a little in certain events (to prevent strain or breakage) is sometimes the best strategy.

Also as Pat pointed out (at least in years past), tire changes and weight changes are not allowed so that can affect track times as well.

Fidel must have fixed his truck. Looks like he has a time for the tow contest.
