Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas

Well it is a much nicer day today. Stock was anywhere from .07-.10 better on average. Super stock was about .07-.08. I won both r2 of stock and r1 of ss. We are supposed to run r3 of stock before pros but it's 9:45 and they are only in super gas. So, I anticipate that we will get pushed back to after the first session of pros, and it could turn into a long day especially with Alcohol here.

Is Hagen Gary ok, see he came in contact with the wall?

Looking at the results from 1st round of S/S, it looks like the track lacked traction for many racers. Good luck to all. Dyno

No lack of traction for me. Stood up higher than yesterday with no changes.
People I talked to think it's fine.

Traction was awesome. I unloaded almost immediately. People that didn't make it down the track probably unloaded.

Unless I am mistaken,this was Dennis Oliver's M/S - P/S 4 speed car for a zillion years. No telling how many trips it has taken down a strip.
Was always a very nice, well detailed car.

Yep, I pulled a Ratcliff, no offense Kyle(speaking of, sure do miss that guy on this forum). I Got on the breaks a little to hard trying to feed Cooter some stripe after i missed the tree. Little did i know he was double O and i was finished anyway. I was able to pull it back in and just touched the wall. Car is hurt but I'm fine, besides my ego. Last thing I want to do is get out of shape and I'm ashamed it happened. Could have been much worse, but its nothing a little bodywork and paint won't fix. My opponent Hildalgo Jr, and his dad Jimmy came by and offered to help with the parts. Great people, and I feel terrible knowing I could have caught them up in my mistake.

I'm headed home good luck to everyone still in.
