The Elite team had that car on kill all day. Erica drove smart-she knew she had to be on her game against Jonathan Gray. Jason kept his chances alive with a whole shot win. Erica was genuinely thrilled with being champ. Jason handled his loss with grace and class, offering congrats to Erica n the win and then doing a great interview on ESPN. But most of all, I liked the fact that neither racer made no bones about how nervous they each were.

You're absolutely right, Jason showed he is a class act. Course coming from our ranks we already knew that...you can usually catch him at the fence when Stock runs. But I was happy for Erica, paying her dues along the way and making it pay off at the end. With all the rumors (Drew Skillman in PS next year? Jeggie having a part time Elite deal, Mark Ingersoll leaving the Johnsons, Westcott fielding a Ford, Morgan out, etc etc) PS should be an interesting deal next year but nothing can take away from the great battle at Pomona.

I think Jason is a class act. Also, Force was a gentleman in defeat. Congrats Elite. You may have single handedly helped save Pro Stock. What a nerve racking race for both.

Did anyone happen to notice Erica's ETs
6.494-----round one 6.494-----round two 6.494-----round three 6.480-----final She'd go deep in elims at any bracket race, huh? Hats off to the Elite team. Was routing for Jason, but Elite EARNED this one! |

Nice to EE win, you know I wasn't too sure when she went to Elite in the off-season and left Cagnazzi, thought they would struggle for some races but, they didn't falter much. Was nice to see a single car team win the championship. Been a long time since that has happen in any of the Pro's as they are flooded with 2,3,4 cars per team.
Hope they are even able to field an 8 car program next year, heard a rumor that they currently only have 9 cars committed to running a full 24-race season...just sad! |

With Rick and Rickie Jones making the calls on the car, no.

Speaking of .000 lights, I'd love to see a log of the lag between her shift light and gear change. Erica seems to have a hidden driver beast inside her. She's calm in interviews and a cat at the light. You can't buy that from Elite or anyone else.
