I guess I just don't understand racing ain't to the finish line flat out.

Maybe cause most had front brake issues?

Anybody else out there having trouble with NHRA's Live Timing and Audiocast?

Never mind...finally got it rolling. Not the most user friendly site I've encountered....

Ken,

Nice to have met you on THursday. Will send pictures to you this week. Keep up the good work in eliminator.

Mike, Dave's car is a 396, and a fast one to boot.

Butch, thanks I wish we could have talked more, did not mean to cut you short, but it has been a very busy week.

Gary, that's a trade secret

Thanks everyone for the good luck wishes. My driving, not so good. My luck, very good.

I was in the stands for a bit watching the fourwide. The pictures below tell the story, the place is mobbed. I know some don't like it, but fourwide is cool, I wish we could run class fourwide.

I wish I could give everyone better updates, drag central has all the numbers for everyone so any question you have I will be glad to help if I can.

It was cold this morning, but the bite was killer. Ask Emily Stott, she almost tip over backwards.

If anything interesting happens I will be back, we don't run until late this afternoon.

Ken,

Thanks a lot for the reports.

Congrats on making the Sunday show. Give 'em hell tomorrow. I'll be pullin' for you.

Good luck!

Thanks Toby, I did a little better job on this one. The weather was about 3or4 slower then this morning. It was still tough to dial and we still had a head win.

We are out 2nd tomorrow.

Dam Jason, you could have let me put my helmet on. I do not need to look at the face, wow does he need a shave. I was having a great week until I had to look at that dudes face. You better hide, because I'm going to hunt you down.

So Ken, I'm wondering, what exactly were you saying to your wife after I snapped your picture in the lanes? You obviously didn't know it was me (we've never met before), but I saw you laughing and saying something to her afterward. Inquiring minds want to know!

As for the picture itself, I took one of your car too, but I like different pictures. Plus, I thought everyone should see the face of the guy bringing them all the great reports.

Thanks for all the updates. I know it can be time consuming, and as soon as you start reporting, so do the questions, and it becomes even more of a time sink!

Oh, sorry to hear you lost too (I thought it would have been only fitting if the roving reported had won the race).

Hope to actually get a chance to talk to you sometime in the future!
