Bret,

There is no doubt Chris's Varsity Ford & Watson CJ's are performing and he is doing well driving. You have made three posts recently about these cars in a five day span. As a person of your stature, maybe you should talk about some of the other Race cars that had great accomplishments in the past couple of races. There was over 400 race cars on the property for the Gators that accomplished some pretty good things. Dave Barton Running 8.70's, Randi Lyn being number 1 qualifier and pulling a Monster Wheel stand, and Anthony Bongiovanni being #1 qualifier in Super Stock and Winning Class...just to name a few. There were a bunch of other Wally's given out that weekend. Gene Jordan won Stock and Brad Zaskowski won Super Stock, these gentleman are the true champions of the Gator Nationals. Maybe you should put in print with some of your spectacular writing about these two racers. It would be nice to hear you write about some other people, your very good at what you do. I've been to 7 of the NMRA/ NMCA/ and ADRL Championship banquets over the past 10 years where you were the MC. You introduced me to come on stage several times and spoke some very kind words about me, which I thank you for. You had to do your homework about each champion introduced on stage. I am sure you're able to do your research about other racers and happenings at NHRA events. Like I said there was 400+ other race cars. Each one of them did something spectacular that weekend.

To me that was the most impressive performance of the weekend. And lets not forget he got down to 3 cars in the eliminator as well.

Re: Chris Holbrook's Incredible "Three-Wally Thursday"!...
 

And how about your guy, Don Fezell running 8.55 in AAA/S!

Re: Chris Holbrook's Incredible "Three-Wally Thursday"!...
 

Yeah we were pretty happy about it. Thanks

The true hero's of the sport build their own cars from head to toe and travel the country to keep racing alive because they have a big passion in their heart. A passion for all that encounters racing, building engines, replacing parts, rebuilding the rear end, etc. then get in their toe rig and drive all night to get to the next event. Like I said in my original post, over 400+ racers there that were all hero's, right?

I can only think, from reading the title of the thread is the reason why other great accomplishments involving other racers haven't been talked about. I guess if the thread had a different title then maybe others would be included. Someone was simply giving a specific person and team a shoutout for a heck of an accomplishment. I'm sure if other threads were started including others names you would get great responses about them.

Well said.............Congrats to Chris

Re: Chris Holbrook's Incredible "Three-Wally Thursday"!...
 

Didn't they win "Best Engineered Car" as well, and wouldn't that make it four Wallys for the weekend....that's got to be a first. I was there on Thursday and would liked to have gone and seen it up close. It must have had some cool stuff inside to get that award. I wonder what makes that 2014 Mustang in Stock or Super/Stock stand out above the rest. "Best Engineered" used to be given to an entry that displayed advanced technology, and/or attention to detail, and with a special consideration to personal fabrication skills and overall project achievement....and most of all....something(s) cool and/or unique, that the tech officials haven't seen before. Is it still like that today?....or is it just big money again.

Wade, since the Jones challenger "The Driller" didn't win at Indy last year (it's first race) I don't think anybody can say what the criteria is for Best Engineering or Best Appearing but politics has to be a factor. That car is a work of art.
