Re: Brent Jones got screwed
I agree with everything said. Pictures cannot do the car justice. I got a couple or two of nice cars, but that thing is really the best I have seen.

Re: Brent Jones got screwed
I got screwed as well at Bristol in 2008 , Brand new B&B cobalt , first cobalt in the country with a LS1, and the only one and very fast . Award went to a pro car and dragster . Stuff happens I got over it . NHRA does what they like and it has nothing to do with what's right. The Driller was bad *** and got my vote

Re: Brent Jones got screwed
Sounds just like a lot of people you come across in this world...They just do what they like and it has nothing to do with what is right. They usually create a justification for their actions. I try to avoid falling into this situation. It is an easy way of life to fall into.

Re: Brent Jones got screwed
There are so many nice cars, well engineered ones etc at Indy. It is really hard to pick one over the other. I am not a big fan of SC rear engine dragsters, I just see so many out there. This one was nice too. Pittman's car is a Chevy, and it is a nice one.
I saw the Driller. It is cool! That being said, if we don't agree with the judging process, please don't make it someones fault for being selected. Send your DD an e mail asking them to reconsider their selection process. My two cents anyway. BTW, my stuff won't ever be in the hunt in either category! I did get an award for an oil down though! LOL.

Re: Brent Jones got screwed
Wholly Smolly....that car is NICE! Previos pictures did no justice to that car.
I received best appearing at a national event first tim out with new paint job. I was not only humbled, but stunned. But still very proud of the award. I would say Mr. Driller has his turn coming. That car is to nice to ignore!!!!!

Re: Brent Jones got screwed
