JP1738's Stocker and S/G car

NEVER SAY DIE. After a nearly complete bust at zMAX DRAGWAY with my stocker and mazda in S/ST, coming up short to Christopher Webb and Eddie Longhany Jr., I decided the only way to make something of the weekend was to keep up the pace and persevere. I left zMax at 11pm saturday night to try my hand at the 6.0 and Pro Tree Door Slammers classes at Rockingham Dragway for their Civil Wars race. Pulled in Sunday morning, got one clean up run, and went to work. Doubled in both classes to 4th round where I turned it a few thousandths red to Steve Sechler (the eventual winner) but I kept it together for the win in 6.0! What a fantastic event they put on and a very much needed confidence boost and payday for me.
Thank you Daren Poole-Adams for helping me get my stocker to and from the track, I really appreciate it.
Thanks again to Brad Plourd for the tires I’m ruining on my stocker. They just keep working and I’m still so greatful for that. Also shoutout to Scot LaMar for his transmission I’m still abusing.
Congrats Don Shuford on your fat dub at Charlotte, I had you picked to win on my fantasy team.
Thanks Meg for the pics and support, your patience is appreciated when I’m all to hell.
Also awesome to see my good friends at the track Glenn Mcconnell and David Lester. I literally could not have done it without them. The coil wire on my car burnt up, but thankfully I had a spare coil and David loaned me another wire to make it happen. It all got ziptied to the cowl and away I went. Glenn let me borrow some power after my generator quit and a couple hotdogs to keep me from falling out. Thanks guys it was great hanging out. I’m so sorry for the parts attrition on both your cars. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

Hard to drive when you can't see! Had this gaff first round as I forgot my hood-pins at the trailer
