Re: Live from Charlotte 4wide Nationals
Thanks to all for the kind words and it was my pleasure to do it. As I said before this was my first National event and I had a blast despite the weather. I'm no Ms Patsy and I need to work on my picture skills but I did my best.
We headed out before the finals so congratulations to all the finalists. Great job Joel getting his first Wally and how about that Super Stock final, was that legendary or what? Would of loved to seen what would've happened if Fletcher hadn't gone red, and how many times does that happen? Another side note involving the heads up with Adkinson and Warren, we all know now how fast it was but after talking to some people there were quite a few that were going 5 to 6 faster than they thought that round. Myself included about 4 fast, tailwind and some of the craziest air any of us will ever run in. This was a huge factor in two really good cars getting horsepower and hundreds others across the country. I think NHRA needs to revisit the mineshaft rule because this run should've never affected all of these cars. Well that wraps up this race and I'm already counting the days to the Division 1 opener at VMP, see you there.

Re: Live from Charlotte 4wide Nationals
Thanks Dave, I've had the bug for many years just took a while to get here. Only 3rd race in the car so we are still feeling each other out, worst problem I'm having is still feeling for my button while staging lol. Best air I seen was Saturday morning early before 2cd round about-800 worst was almost 500 ft.
Thank you Mr Larry and Ms Patsy, means alot coming from y'all. I've enjoyed your reports for years so I was just trying to give some back.

I was there, but my phone wouldn't get any network signal at all. Thanks for all of the great reporting!
