Awesome job Matt and family ! The smile on his face was priceless and I could not have been happier for him.

Didn't have much of an excuse for taking a mile stripe in the final at the time, but now after having X rays and finding fractured # 4 and # 5 Metatarsal in my right foot, that's my excuse ! HA HA..... Also think we got a little puff puff of wind cause I was on a record run.....

Warning - watch out for the old wooden grandstands on the right side of E-Town. There are some monster holes in the wood and I happened to find one while climbing up to watch S/SS. Snap went my right foot and that was all she wrote. Happened Thurs afternoon but I wouldn't go to the hospital because I wanted to race. NHRA may not have let me race with a cast ? Didn't care to find out honestly.

Thanks everyone for the congrats, it was fun - and just a little painful, but worth it. I get a cast on tonight.

THX
