Roll Call!

Who is going to support this great race and take a swing for a $10,000 payday?

It would awesome if we could round up some prizes to help support. If you?re unable to join maybe dig in and help show everyone you want to keep Class Racing going in the West.

I?ll throw $100 in for best losing package first round.
Also $100 to the car with the best Wheelie performance the whole event. We will need to find a judge.
$50 to the qualifier that lands on the bottom of the top half. Qualifying off index so be prepared for possible weighing..

Should be a nice weekend, weather wise. Best of luck for those able to attend. I put up $500.00 myself last year for my late wife. I won a 50.00 gift certificate I could never use.Like all sports,keeps you coming back when you do well. I would have to borrow a car. Time for the next generation to enjoy!

I'm pre-entered into the race & looking forward to my debut in a Stock Eliminator car!

Thanks to my family & friends for their personal words of encouragement & of course thanks to GTX JOHN for allowing me to drive one of his race vehicles!

I am pre-entered. But, the strangest things always pop up at the worst of times. Switching from wheels/tires (to get the car on the trailer in Phx. (I noticed the outer CV boot was split on pass. side slickest grease ever invented on the inner side of the wheel, none on the fender well equals none on the track ....thank the lord, but the boot still had a
lot of grease in it). Cleaned it all up, broke out the Super glue and brakekleen, and welded the cracked area temp to get it back to Vegas, ordered the boot kit before leaving the track on e-bay from Ontario, CA.

That is the package stuck in the Post Office in Upland, CA. Picked up another outer boot before going back up to Vegas on Saturday AM. Planned on rebooting the outer Saturday morning at Storage in Vegas 6:00 AM (ooops, ck'd schedule late we race at 9:00, not 11, no Jr's today, rebooting work changed to Saturday night instead, was no longer leaking so good to go as temp repair is safe),. 034, .032 T.T. lights (not going to be enough today with this group, pushed harder...too hard red 1st rnd., repair underway early, and including a great dinner, and an 11:30 P.M. nearly midnight run to get this 1 of 2 Auto Zone stores open 24 hrs a day, that actually had an inner boot in Stock (and worked all night to get it cleaned up properly, stretched over the inner end all the way to the outer end of a 4 foot axle, greased, banded, and reinstalled without waking up pit area partners, 2 coffee runs to warm up a bit, and a Petro Shower and clothes change as the glorious sun
rise came forth (TY here for the loan John and Jon Irving of your Battery Operated Impact Driver, it saved me in the pits), saved the noise making button up of the fastners until the 1st engine fire-up, but got it all done before the 1st time trial of the day Sunday at 9:00 AM Sportsman call (though with not enough time after the tightening of everything and really no way to accurately align the front end in the pits and knowing the front right did not fully get back into alignment perfectly slightly toed out, so much warm up coffee though I was consistently, red,
-.032, (with a tie rod adjustment between
the 2 T.T. passes to attempt to correct the toe out condition) -.034 (2 major changes after zero sleep lower air pressure in front slicks to increase rollout, laze the tree and...junk .111 out again 1st rnd....one too many changes, too much coffee and no sleep.

I am home safe, car is mechanically fixed (appointment for full alignment scheduled for Thursday at 11:00 in Vegas, so it will be right for MATS. A lousy weekend as far as the continued race results column, but the unscheduled racing repair, will not interfere with the scheduled upgrade drop off after MATS or the actual racing on non-refundable entries. And the March/April calender of race dates is still full!

The little stuff (that really is bigger stuff), you don't count on happening you cannot schedule for! You just deal with it the best you can as it crops up.

I would not trade the hard work for anything in the world right now...steel tempers steel, steel sharpens steel.

Sunday AM Sasha was right behind me in the lanes for first rnd. (And I told her to tell that Hoefer guy to quit beating up on his wife), as I was taking apart the car Saturday they both reached the finals I heard on the radio she cut a perfect .000, and...sadly she was a little too fast to the stripe (I know that feeling Sasha). He's not only good, he is lucky too!

Dear Lord...I need some of that luck. Please? See you guys there. I hope we have a good turnout...looks like possible chance of some rain Thursday, and cooler temps in store again.

Have my entry, started loading up today, first race of the year for me. Family was sick just before Firebird double and had to canceled the trip.

[GTX JOHN]

When we got down to 3 cars, Sasha put down a .01 to
end my day!

I think the two of them may actually be Robots!
They are just consistently THAT darn good.
We are hoping she finds time to run one of our
Stockers this year.
