WinkTimber Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 ISS = Impact Survival Series. Large fields of cars, small tracks. Think 120 cars on a 1/4 mile oval. #43, #101 & #168 are ISS cars that are here, but it appears that #101 is not on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinkTimber Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 A few reports that we didn't get until after the racing was over:#11 Lowered Expectations Acura - blown engine#46 Cougar Bait Saab - hose blew off the intercooler in the turbo stream. They tried to fix it but could not get it to stay on. They should be back tomorrow.#44 Dragon Somethin' Porsche - Overheated on the last lap after a bolt wore a hole in the radiator. Parked it rather than risk damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
