To the laughing Mr. Parsons. Good point. I didn't recieve my trophy until after tear down either. Jim Boudreau went to the DeFrank pit and told them he was going to give them the trophy. Is that better? Check with the DeFrank folks and you'll find this to be true.

Tech seals the motors after the run.

I know this is at least the 4th post about that car where you have trashed him or his car. At least I can say that he runs it BALLS out and dont give a crap about the 1.15 rule. If he did he would have lifted on the first pass.

Dude, I don't know what your problem is, but why (instead of running your mouth, or keyboard) don't you just go ask Lloyd, Sonny and James about me? I kid them a lot, I consider them friends and think they are a class act. They know that. I have never trashed them or that car. There is a reason it's that fast, talent and hard work. And, Lloyd drives it very well. No hard feelings on my part about how fast that car is, and they all know it. Mine is a low budget attempt to have some fun, not a serious effort. They also know that. I didn't think anybody would ever outrun that car, I was listening on the computer when they ran, and was shocked when they lost. Lloyd even left on him. 10.01 @ 131 in that air is awesome.

Sorry about calling Byron's class wrong, the hood scoop classes came along while I was away (not prison, just not racing) so I still get them mixed up.

Your father was always one of my heroes, don't know what happened to you.

Well, we broke the transmission. It broke back in the pits as he was leaving to go up to run. He got up there in 2nd gear and got staged against the 2 step. He was hoping Les Norton would red-light and then he could change trans before the next round. Well Norton didn't red-light, so so much for that plan. Anyway he didn't want to risk tearing it up further. It wouldn't go in any gear, so he got pulled back to the trailer. We hope to be at Earlville next week, so he will get it changed this week.

I will post more later. I have some pics from teardown, but I will do all that as we start home.

This is truly a bummer Larry. Sorry to hear about your breakage. Thanks for all you and Patsy do posting for us. Jim

[Floyd Staggs]

Me too, sorry about the breakage. Thanks for all the pictures and reporting from out here on the left coast.

GOOD LUCK to all those remaining.......... & safe travels to those that are headed home!

Don't mind any of my comments on this site. It's pretty miserable for me having my car 800 miles away from me all of the time and having a busy work/life schedule. Brian, where do I sign up for the every other month work schedule and do you have any extra space for my car in your trailer

Maybe next time I'll buy a house with a garage. STUPID MOVE!!!

Anybody in Mass have a free/cheap garage to keep my SS'er in?
