RUMOR also has it that Boudreau and DeFrank agreed to run to the 1000' mark and shut off. Jimmy did, Boudreau didn't. Maybe that resulted in some bad karma?

Larry I got your message late last night, for some reason my phone didn't ring so I didn't get your number on caller ID. Try to call me again any time tonight, it's Friday so I'll be up late.

Boudreau won the race even in this situation based on the better reaction time! He got there first.

One of them was going to get tore down anyway.

DeFrank was only behind by .002 at the 1000ft. he was catching him and every mark and was going to get around boudeau if he stayed in it.

Agree Defrank would have won if he wouldnt have lifted! My only point is (IF) they agreed to race to the 1000 Boudreau won the race

Well, it is official--5 cars were pitched--Holzman AA/SA, Nicholson A/SA, Pierce, Bishop B/S, Boudreau.

The final sheet still is not out. I am going to figure out who we have in the morning.

More later. It is dinner time. Larry is supposed to cook cabbage and kelbasa, but I think he just wooshed out on me. So I guess it is leftovers.

Go check drag race central. All incrementals for that run were posted for that run, and Bourdeua had it at 1000'. I'm not even going to say what I think about that 1000 ft BS, someone will just flame me for it.

I'm sure I'll get flamed at just for mentioning this but... not wanting to run the whole race, trying to stop Mr. Hill from taking pictures.... that doesn't exactly make the case for saying they don't have something to hide. I think that car is a work of art, i spent a lot of time oohing and awing over it in Pomona. But doesn't it seem a little..... rude... to say the least to stop someone like Larry from taking pictures???
