The 2022 Slant 6 drag racing season kicked off at MoKan Dragway in Asbury, MO on 2 April.

Denny Baierl set new C and D unlimited records driving Steve Nitti’s Duster. He was able to just break the 12 year old record held by Ryan Peterson. They then added weight to break Lou's D Unlimited record. MoKan was scheduled as a ¼ mile event only with no 1/8 mile, so there were no 1/8 mile records set.

Here are the new records:

C/Unlimited:
1/4 Mile ET: 10.8498 Denny Baierl Duster Mokan, MO 3,074
Previous record: 8/22/2010 10.9100 Ryan Peterson 66 Valiant Kearney, NE 3,000

Here are the points updated to show everything.

Denny earned 20 Bonus points for setting a record, putting him in first place.

Mandi Gravatt still qualifies for Rookie of the Year contention because she only participated in one race weekend prior to this season.

I am still trying to pin down a date for the Farmington, NC race in either June or July. More to follow on that. Sorry for the delay.

Ladies and Gentlemen,... We are on course to have the lowest turnout in our 24 years of Slant 6 drag racing history...

I'm not saying this to be a downer or complain...

Consider it more of a plea...

To consider making it out to a race this year.

Just pick one. The closest one to you...

And...

Come out and Run with the Slants!!!

The AHRA race Labor Day weekend got cancelled.

Looks like only 2 racers planning to come to Farmington 22-23 July. If no one else posts their intentions to come by Friday (8 July), I plan to cancel this race as well.

After that it will be Clay City 9-11 September.

Thanks, Rob. I bet we could have a decent turnout at Clay City. There is also a late-season makeup possibility at M-D??

I am still building cars and engines...

I texted Jeff. He didn't get two 1/4 mile passes, so no back-up run.
