Tighten those belts, Ed, he'll be coming fast....(although I've seen you overcome icewater-in-your-veins matchups like this many times before).....interesting race, for sure... WJ

Considering that he has the 2 fastest runs in Stock history (9.411@147 a couple of weeks ago at the E-town Nat. in Q1, and 9.412@148 at the Atco D-1 points race in May); I believe that we have seen how fast it can go. I was at E-town for the 9.411 and, believe me, he ran it all out. The CJs are very soft off the starting but, from the 330' cone to the finish line, the supercharger is at full effect.
As for his first round match with Ed F.; I wouldn't be surprised to see Fezell break out.

From what I gather...they are still only using part throttle. Last year, the CJ's in Brett Hajak's stable were set at 56% throttle. Think on that awhile.

Was a time that any time you raced a Widuch, Little, etc heads up you could pretty much bet on a early trip home; and there is nothing wrong with that...they thought more, tested more, and worked more-pure and simple. With CJ's and DP's everywhere it's not that way anymore; I know this has been beat to death but until the factors are fixed I'd almost think it was better to stay at the trailer, a protest if you will.

No, show up and run, never take it laying down.

I've never laid down on anything; but something has to demonstrate to NHRA and the probably unenlighted fan that something is amiss in their formula for class racing and entertaining the fans.

Hey Larry

Did he catch you early and at what point?

Traveling 500 miles, fuel, entry fee and all other expenses to run a national event .... I don't think not showing up 1st round would show nhra anything, they could care less, but I see Biondo's opponent did not show up 1st round for a heads up ..
