Seems like NHRA picked 3 cars after qualifying! Jimmy wasn't for sure but he thought James Paul and MCclister, not sure of the spelling!

Woodro, how was Jimmy able to get a piston out? Did he lift the engine with it still in the car to get the pan off or ?????

Wow.....that's a lot of work on one of those cars. I got one so I know. Did you bring your own stuff to get that motor out? I hope you had plenty of help and am guessing you did.... Glad to hear you passed and I hope you got it back together and win some rounds....you deserve it......Rich

With four efi cars that he owns (plus countless more people that he helps), I believe no one has done more engine pulls than Jimmy.

The warehouse at the track is Pat's garage for his car, so he has everything there. When Pat was building this track, he told me that it would have lifts in case someone needs one and it does.

You need something ask Pat and he will tell you "No Problem"
