The latest update as of May 27, 2023
Last night was a PRO test session for all the Nitro Chaos and Funny Car Chaos entrants at Eddyville Raceway. Taking place in the evening, starting at dusk and continuing into the night, the header flames from the fuel burners lit up the sky and entertained the crowds that flocked to the event. Today sees the first two qualifying sessions for both the NC and FCC racers, starting with the first session mid-afternoon and the second go-round starting at 6pm. Our intrepid photographer, "BIG" Bob Snyder is there, despite some mobility issues and he's sent a batch of photos from the test session. Unfortunately, we won't have time to post them today, but will get them up tomorrow morning.
Highlight of the evening was the Ken Singleton tuned, Shayne Lawson owned and driven "Man O' War II" that set low e.t. and top speed of the evening at 3.73 - 203.62 to take a $750 bonus cheque from Funny Car Chaos sponsors Wulff Pumps, Spell Paving, and Quick Performance. On the Nitro Chaos side, Todd Bruce in the Cliff Bakx owned and tuned Canadian "The Bull" A/Fuel Dragster. We haven't gone far enough through the FLOracing.com video to check out his numbers but nonetheless, the $750 went to Bruce and Bakx.
