How long does it take to "fix" a driver?!? Seems you've been working on that for half a century!

What year was it that Billy Nees was the Land of NED Stock Eliminator Champion?

Is it too early to nominate Billy for the NED Image of Youth award? An oxymoron perhaps?

That Stock story is worth re-telling for the less than seasoned citizens here ;-)

I just got finished reading Larry's latest post on Dumbo and all I can say pal is "it's that time of the year".

Here in the Northeast we're running out of tracks to run on. Island has a "Mopar" race, MG has a Truck race, M-D has the SBRA Bracket finals and Numidia is having a couple of High $$$ Races. The only place for me to go this weekend was Cecil Co. and after my 3+ hour ride, I was greeted with a mob scene. To add insult to injury, I forgot to bring the cable to adapt the laptop to the car. Wasted day...........I hate wasting days.
At any rate, I sat in the staging lanes from about 9:00 until almost 2:00 for ONE run and couldn't even make any adjustments to the car. After talking to my "Tuner" I decided to just try and make one FAST run to see if it would. I got the trans good and hot and the engine as cold as I could get it and staged the car as high on the converter as I comfortably could ( about 2800 vs. 2400).
to get to the point of this story, sometimes even the worst days can turn out pretty good! With a 1300' DA. and a 10-15 MPH HEAD wind, Not Fer Nuthin' went a 14.777@ 91.27 MPH! The best until then was a 15.003.
That kinda made my day! .823 under with junk!

Island ran all make T&T yesterday! They had more T&T cars than they did Mopars actually. Could have made at least 5-6 runs.

Nice run though Billy! Just miserable that you had to wait all day for it.
