Anybody else think that episode with Mike Edwards car backfiring through the carbs and breaking under the tower before the semis yesterday was strange?

[John Leichtamer Jr]

maybe Jerry Eckmann can comment on this...

Doesn't Jerry work for Roger Brogdon not Mike Edwards? I thought he had a lifetime NHRA ban... Guess it got lifted.
I'm interested in knowing what part or parts failed on Jegs car.
Did it just pop out of first gear? Did he fail to activate the throttle stop? :~)

After all the track is in Ill close to Wayne County were there any sightings???

I deffinately thought the day was a little strange for WJ. After outdriving Krisher, he dodges 3 of the biggest bullets out there in AJ, Mike and Jeg? Kinda wierd. As far as sightings,,,look at the replay when they had the frontend off of Edwards car,,,isn't that Alderman back there in the crowd smiling? K&N Charity Day.

Eckman as well as Brogdon work for Steve Kent. The ban is for driving only on Eckman. As far as Edwards, it is very odd that he can out run any car at anytime by as much as a tenth. Maybe the same vandals will show up at his shop and destroy all of his engines like they did Aldermans back in the day.

I did two presentations to a local high school shop class, one with a dirt track car, one with an ET drag car and was told by the shop teacher at the end that it would have been better if I didn't use multiplication and division it it. I asked him how he thought they were going to get jobs if they couldn't do simple multiplication and division. Not sure what was worse, that the school and staff didn't seem to care and treated these kids as expendable or that they were getting paid near 6 figure salaries and didn't care...
