Congrats to Mike on his Topeka win. This is not to in any way knock the win. You have to show up and race to win and Mike and Paula have done more than their fair share of both. I always look at the elims summary on DRC for Stock and Super Stock and was amazed at Mikes race. 1 bye and 5 red lights. The statistical probability of that ....I don't even know how to calculate. In the 70 I crewed some for Clayton Harris on his TF car in IHRA. Clayton was a world champion in IHRA and in NHRA a Nat Record holder and Division 2 TF champ but only 1 win at National event level in NHRA and that was a 4 round 4 redlight race at the 73 Summernats. But 5 red and a bye tops that. Again congrats to Mike on an amazing day.

Congratulations, Mike!

In the immortal words of Jerry Reed, "When you're hot, you're hot, when you're not, you're not. Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again...!

That many rounds in two different cars on one day? Priceless!!
