As soon as they got back ,they had to pull the drive train out of it, hone and re-ring the engine, re-work the transmission, transplant it all into a totally new car, re-do the headers, rebuild the brake system (twice), and then rent the Tucson track, (there's no place to test in the Valley in August).
Then as Dan said, drag it half way across the country and finish testing at Noble ,OK.
This is not check book racing, folks. These two are the real deal, and I'm glad to call them my friends.
Couldn't agree more....the real deal for sure.

A Special Thanks from BJ Graham

First, I would like to thanks NHRA for putting on a Spectacular show at Indy. From the time we arrived, stacking, entry, and pitting went seamlessly. I was amazed how the grounds crew got everyone in and settled without a hitch. Everyone was friendly and even helped me out when I got lost.

Thanks to the Haters and Nay-sayers who kept the air waves sizzling during the race. Some of your comments were a bit harsh but mostly, I laughed and was amused. I just love freedom of speech.

Thanks to my family and extended family, fellow racers, and my support group. I received so many text messages that my phone kept going dead. I've never gotten so many friendly waves, hi-fives, thumbs-up, and pats on the back. Oh, maybe that's why my shoulders are so sore. I can't even begin to tell all of you how much it all means to me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Thanks to my fellow U Stock competitors. Captain Jack, it was a pleasure to finally meet and visit with you a bit. You did your best with a .008 light. You get a great Big Hug from me. Good job. Brian Seaburg, you certainly stepped up your game! Your car is such a "sleeper" no one would ever guess you could run so fast and so well. I'm impressed! See you again out west. Gary Summers, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet and visit with you. I heard you were having troubles of your own so I thought best to keep my distance. I certainly understand troubles. Hopefully, we can meet up again some day. I'll look forward to that.

A Special Thanks to my dear friend Angelo Phillips, who worked side-by-side with Mike to accomplish an impossible task. Mike couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to Diana for sharing him with us. I hope you are feeling better. Thanks to Raul Vargas, Dennis Alvey, and Bill North for their contributions to the effort. Kelly, you are tough. Keep up the fight.

A Super Special Thanks to my Best Friend and Husband, Mike Graham, who fulfills my every wish. Your research and hard work paid off. My accomplishments are your accomplishments. We make a great team.

I just wish I could've done a little better in the event race. But then again, I'm sure almost everyone is saying the same thing except one, Congratulations to Indy 2017 Stock Champion Larry Gilley.

All in all, Mike and I had a great time. Miles of Smiles everywhere! We met a lot of new friends and had a ball. It was tons of Fun and isn't that what NHRA racing is all about? FUN!!!
