Thanks Greg (and everyone else who just wished me well there), that was close. I guess my post about this might've helped save me a spot, because within minutes of my signing up for the 59th spot, someone nabbed the 60th spot! That was close! Today was payday, so that's why I had to wait.

As for Fontana, yes I plan on being there as well. I don't care for that 55mph towing speed limit, however it's much closer to me than Salt Lake City was, so I'll deal with it. I'm looking forward to seeing my car's first 14sec et slip, since I just missed it at the 2016 Winternats by just .015sec., in a .006 breakout loss. I was told that the air there has been better than it was when I ran both the 15.014, and the qualified 15.02, so I'm looking forward to being there and giving that track another go of it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, AND SEE YA IN 2019!!!!

Gary, I was afraid that someone would beat you to the punch, after you mentioned on here that there were only two left!

Don't know you, but I had friend that ran a U/SA (underdog) car. It was fun when he did well. Good luck!

Congrats Gary. Merry Christmas. The crowd always enjoys
the awsome smokey front wheel drive burn outs. Happy

New Year.

Thanks Dave and Randy, and I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas as well. That entry was my gift to myself, and I look forward to getting ready for it once I get back home. However, no more burnouts since Mickey Thompson no longer makes the slicks I use, so I only do dry hops. Eventually I'll have to change my wheels to 15's and start using the 22" slicks they still do make, but I may have to find some more horsepower too, since the taller tire will lower (numerically), my gear ratio. Oh well, that's racing right?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, & LET'S GO 2019 NHRA RACING SEASON!!!!

dry hops - - - there is a term hardly used anymore - I like it.

Thanks Ron, and they seem to work too especially at tracks that allow racers to drive around the wet burnout box to keep their tires dry.
