Might need to be a new tradition! I may save this one and make some new #1 targets for next year, and pass one along to the next guy (or gal!)

Great Job/Year Michael!!! :)

Heck, you're doing so great with your Super Stocker and your rwd stocker, that your fwd stocker's probably going into permanent retirement huh?

Re: Michael Beard...... IHRA Super Stock World Champ!
 

Don't have a RWD Stocker.... that's Terry Knott's car. I only stole it for two weekends this year. I still have the Turismo, just under protective custody at Billy Nees's shop. Would love to get it out and play some more.

Re: Michael Beard...... IHRA Super Stock World Champ!
 

Come and get it! Your Dad and I are taking it to "The Beav" on Saturday though!

You are officially considered a World Champion Ironman Hoarder!
Good job Mike! You have raised the bar once again! I think it's time to settle down and have some kid's so the rest of us will have a better chance!:D

That's good to know, because I still think it's either you or Stan Kopejtka, who's going to be the first divisional event winner this decade, and/or the first fwd stocker racer to win a national event this century....or within the last 26 (27 looking ahead to next season), years. However, one of the untouched goals for this century (or decade), is about to be reached...with only one more divisional race remaining, Stan and his current 6th place position in the D5 Stock points standings is looking very good for holding on to a top ten finish in that division. If he does then the remainder of us fwd stockers will have to shoot for the other unreached goals that stay unclaimed. Hopefully since I have a dog in that fight, I'll get the funds to go to more races next year, and IHRA will get their D7 going to include a points series for us sportsman racers like you get to enjoy where you're at? Given how D7 (NHRA) is starting to look, they're becoming worse (geographically travel wise) to chase a divisional championship in than D5...and that's very bad (especially for us Arizona racers)!!! :(

Bottom line, I hope you'll have the Turismo out like you had his car next year, because I'm sure you'll (as Larry The Cable Guy would say), "GET 'ER DONE"!!! :)
