Congradulations Jake, knew you could get one!! Glad to be a small part of your WIN. ET Racing Transmissions

Re: Congrats to Jake Barbato
 

Thank you everyone!

It's been a suck couple of years with that car but I knew one weekend I would be able to dial the car and my dad would hit the tree and luckily finally it was the same weekend.
Hey Tom, we gave you .017 to get inside :P
Wayne, I probably appear to be happier from the constant screaming I've been doing but I know my dad is as happy.
Lynn, I probably got about 2 feet of air until I had to stop cause I was losing my pants (the downside to losing 20 pounds). I had to make up for being the only one on the starting line for my dad since my mom and Don both had to work yesterday so they left Sunday night. Apparently though we had a big cheering section on the internet and everyone knew before I could call them.
E Man, that trans has already paid for itself, it's a wonderful piece.
And thank you also to "Eddie Select", he worked with us all season to get this car to leave the line and now it seems like we're heading in the right direction for next year (fingers crossed).

Thanks again, everyone :)
Jake, Gerry, Kelli, Mike (the son you probably didn't know existed), and Preppy Barbato

Congrats to Jake on his Super Gas win. It was looking pretty bleek after 1st round with only Jake and Phil making it past the 1st round out of our group. Don, Kelli, Bob and Myself all took the early spectator route and became cheerleaders for the rest of the day, but Jake carried the torch for us all..

Had a great weekend, just wished I had put some more numbers in the box against Benny 1st round and had a great Saturday in the rain watching Talladega Nights and listening to Don go "What the h**l is this crap" and then the classic movie "Two lane blacktop" I'm still confused as to how that movie was suppose to go....

Oh yeah and Kelli tell Jake "DON'T TOUCH A THING IN THE OFFSEASON, LEAVE THE CAR IN THE TRAILER TILL ATCO....HAHA"

Re: Congrats to Jake Barbato
 

Hahaha, can I tell you how excited Don was when he tried on his Ricky Bobby costume Monday night? It's gonna be the last Halloween he trusts me to pick out a costume for him :P I seriously lost it when the Applebee's commercial came on and he was like "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?!?!?!"
And yes it was funny to realize that even though I fell asleep during "Two Lane Blacktop" and you didn't it still didn't make sense to either of us.
Oh yeah by the way...YAY PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Jake after thinking and replaying the stupid tree comming down in my head .....YEAH I totally flinched, it was a little too much excitement and after the button release you can guess what I said to myself.......OOPS the light isn't on yet......OH well Great Job and congrats to you and Kelli. Kelli I didn't know you could jump that high (on the return road).

and Kelli........ don't worry about the pants thing........ we didn't mind............ LOL

Re: Congrats to Jake Barbato
 

Thanks Jim and Charlie,
I'm kinda bummed Jim flinched, would have been cool to see what the numbers would have been if it was clean and green.
And I will be purchasing a belt for next year in hopes I will be jumping up and down again next year :)

What a week, my dad winning the Dutch and the Phillies winning the World Series...if the Dutch was finished Sunday I would be at the parade now and not be typing at my desk watching it online <sigh>.
