Thanks, it was a lot of fun. Too bad they aren't doing the show any more. Thought it was pretty cool they mentioned it was a NHRA stocker. Maybe at least a few more people know a little about stock eliminator now. Cant wait to race in two weeks, this didnt help! |

Thanks, yea wish we coulda made it to the final, but it was awesome just getting as far as we did. Little better on the arm drop and we coulda got him. From what I heard we were the fastest of all the cars left.

Saw you on the show last night David. Your car looked good. Took a super gas chevelle to beat him with a 540 big block. Looked like you were a natural for TV.

You looked good. Kind of a lop sided pairing. Most of the cars on that show are dogs for what they are. You may have had the smallest NA engine there.

Thanks Ed and Greg, yea it seemed like every car there was a big block with nitrous. Sad a little 372 stocker can hang with em'! Those interviews turned out good, shoot a few PR classes and I'll be ready to run with the big dogs, lol. Don't think NHRA would like the part where I said I was gonna kick Jason's *** though! LOL

Hey the Buckners all looked good. I thought I even saw Ray in the background cheering one time. So you have an investor from OK! Who was Pamela I?? I sure wish we were going to see ya'll in Belle Rose, but this will be only the 2nd time that we have missed going since they started racing there. Our engine building is running way behind right now. Between working and not having a lot of enthusiasm we are just not ready yet. But I am sure we will see ya'll somewhere this season. Good luck with the new car (unless you are in the lane next to us!)

Thanks Patsy, Belle Rose won't be the same without you and Larry! The old man is talking about going to Columbus sports nat, so hopefully we'll see you there.

What were the time breaks for the top 32? Take it they were somewhere in the high 9's?

They said mid to high 9s. Our super street car got in and went 9.49 and our drag pak went 9.59 so I figured they allowed about 3 tenths.
