Setting the C/S National Record at Gateway open

I wish more people would step up and make the effort to set records. NHRA doesn't make it very rewarding but rest assured the stocker community recognises your accomplishment. Nice job!

Congrats on your record...maybe you should stick a couple big Castrol decals on the car.

Thanks guys I thought it was a really cool deal and something to be proud of. I just didn't understand why it wasn't mentioned in the dragster maybe they missed it. I didn't set the world on fire but it went 10.53 at 127.50.

I always thought setting a record would be awesome so now I can cross that off the bucket list and it was awesome!!

Thanks again for the kind words.

You "thought it would be awesome", and "it was awesome"...
THAT'S awesome !

Congrats on your record. That should be the goal of every class racer but for some reason we've drifted towards ET predicters. I prefer your way and I'm still waiting for a national record. Maybe next year.

Congrats! Nice run and a fine accomplishment. I hope to experience it myself one day.

First of all congrats it is definetly something to be proud of, usually on the front page of the event coverage there is a box there that says record breakers, it is sad that NHRA seems to forget about the sportsman racers. when i set my record there were faster guys in the country but none of them wanted to tear down?
