Just got an email from the man himself, Bruno. Needless to say Mother Nature spoiled the weekend.

"We qualified well, 2nd with the dragster, 14th with the Cobalt and really liked our chances. Than the rain came and the flooding… ugh. All the classes except for Top Fuel, Funny car and Pro Stock were cancelled for the weekend as a result. So 2,300 miles of driving for nothing, gotta love mother nature, lol!"

I would love to see a scientific study on the effect of a glossy decontaminated paint on ETs vs. dirty gritty car LOL!

A few years back, a detailer came out to the track and guaranteed .1 to .2 drop in ET on door cars after he cleaned them. If it didn't the job was free. I don't know of anyone personally that took him up on it, but would like to know how it turned out.
