Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
yea I guess somehow I missed Line's run, but hey former SS/Stock racers #1 and #2, not bad at all.
Glad to see Morgan running good in the Chevrolet also.

I just finished watching the qualifying show. Great interview with Drew. What a class act, will be a great addition to the Pro Stock ranks.

semi's, Drew .015, 6.59, Erica, .072, 6.57, Dave & Alan had some kind words for Leo. Some guy named Jody Lang just won stock. Super stock final Justin & Cody both .006, Cody .006 under, Justin .007 under.

Drew's car picked up 4 but Jason edged him 6.545 to Drew's 6.556, light's were .038 to .042, great debut.

Been glued to ESPN3 all day, if the rest of the season is like this, we will see some gooood racin' this year.

Andrew Hill 02-08-2015 08:40 PM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Awesome job Drew, especially for your first race in Pro Stock! Looking forward to seeing him keep winning rounds this year! I like having someone to root for in Pro Stock.

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Un effen unbelievable --- great job on your first outing--- he came to play and now they all know he has his act together--- better be on your toes next time you pull up along side him--FED 387

Dave Crysler 02-08-2015 08:48 PM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
I hope he can find funding to run all the races, with Mark as his crew chief, there will be some wins in his column this year.

GREAT JOB< DREW! I'm so happy for you and your family and crew !

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
He was something like .018 from being the first person in 40 years to win in his debut in Pro Stock. Cool customer for sure! It's refreshing to see a team with serious resources step up from Sportsman Racing and play with the big boys.

Carguy49 02-08-2015 11:39 PM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Great debut by an obviously well prepared team. Way to go Guys.

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
too bad the first race didn't win just wait and see he will get his first pro win very soon

Guess the days of paying your dues are over. Just write a check...and have Dad sign it.

Grose was the REAL story of PS.

Larry Hill 02-09-2015 08:57 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
cudadoug, What are you talking about? All of the Skillman family are good hard and smart working people. Drew had a great day at the races, so please don't pour cold water on him.

Floyd Staggs 02-09-2015 09:32 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Sour grapes from a key board jockey, cudadoug. Fantastic debut for the Skillmans. They worked for it.

DIAPERMAN 02-09-2015 09:46 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Great job Drew !!!! A fine young man . Sorry Cuda some people make good decisions in life and some dont ! This young man is hard working and respected by all the racing industry PS and one Hell of a driver

Michael Beard 02-09-2015 09:51 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
I wasn't aware that money controlled the timing of releasing the clutch and shift points, and steered the car. :rolleyes: Drew's paid his dues the last couple years, kicked a bunch of tails doing it, and he's a nice kid to boot. There's a bunch of us here that couldn't have accomplished what he did, regardless of the budget.

Congratulations on an outstanding opener!

Nitro Joe Jackson 02-09-2015 10:22 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Drew did a great job and has came a long way in my book, I remember watching him when he first came out in action and said woooo we need some work here and with the help of David Rampy doing some coaching work I don't have to list what all he has done in the last few years of SS/Stock racing. Once again, great job Drew did and if you meet him, one of the young nice guys of drag racing for sure.
Hey I almost had my first customer win in Pro Stock, lol

#2 in the country in Stock Eliminator the last two years - money doesn't buy that.

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Great job Drew Skillman, how many times has that happened, not many I'm guessing ( runner up first Nat'l in prostock). Really enjoyed watching the race, and he does a good interview as well, very marketable. Good luck

Brett C 02-09-2015 10:52 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Very impressive! Great job young man!

Congratulations Drew! Way to represent Stock and SS racers as well as Div 3!

Ron Middleton 02-09-2015 11:04 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Great job Drew. One helluva a first outing in Pro Stock. Good team, great driver looks like a contender right out of the box.

John Dinkel 02-09-2015 11:14 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Great job Drew. You represented Division 3 well and the Stock and Super Stock racers you raced with are for your success.

JeffM 02-09-2015 11:19 AM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
Way to go Drew. Happy for the Skillman camp. More success to come!

I was very happy to root for Drew in Pro Stock this weekend it gave me a reason to want to watch Pro Stockl but i know where he's coming from with this since Drew is a teammate to Erice Enders in Elite Motorsports. It does help to have engines from the fastest team in the class but he still did a great job driving nonetheless.

Joey Grose is a real good story too since they build their own engines but they did have Tommy Utt helping them too which is big.

Rick Brown 02-09-2015 12:51 PM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
To Drew, Bill and especially Ray watching his Grandson do what every young and old Drag Racer dreams of CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Most of us dream of just getting to license one of these animals as I have. To master one in less than a month and achieve not only qualifying but progressing to the final WOW! To a GREAT Family and Friends to all racers, GO GET 'EM AT PHOENIX! Disregard what cudadoug says above as evidently they have not met the Skill in Skillman!

Julie Jordan 02-09-2015 12:51 PM

Re: how about that Drew Skillman!
 
I thought it interesting that both of the Pro Stock finalists came up from the Stock Eliminator ranks. Even the announcers were commenting on that. I think that says a lot for the caliber of drivers in Stock.

I have another hero! Jim
