Yep! Congrats to you Bill! I am proud of you for sure! Jim

I second that Bill congrats from one fwd driver to another.

Thank you Dennis, I really appreciate that, although I was eventually bumped down to the #3 qualifying position. It was fun to be on the top of the qualifying list for one day. There are not too many of us left, that are still racing the FWD cars anymore, especially after the classes were consolidated and alot of the cars could no longer make the weight break. It is good to know there are still a few of us left.

Great job, Bill. Never met, but I've watched your results for many, many years! Thanks for adding another voice bringing attention to the problem of FWD class breaks. As I posted in another thread, since they have the "class singles combo" now, there shouldn't be any concern about having everybody collecting Wallys on a single, so can we get the old FWD class structure back???

Hey Jim! I am surprised that anyone even noticed that I was at the top of the stock qualifying list for one day, although I was eventually bumped down to number 3. Thanks for the kind words. Bill

Hey Bill, don't count me out as a FWD guy! I took the SRT4 out of moth balls last month and ran 12.89 at legal weight! I will always be an advocate for the FWD cars! Jim
