Had a great time last night Bobby, It was very nice finally meeting you, Just can't beleive it rained all around us & we got lucky , It really sucks i red lit that last pass  , don't understand what happen to the timers, I'm guessing it had something to do with me deep staging & turning the top bulb off on a Pro tree  , After i deep staged i'm guessing it red lighted me after a few seconds. I still think it may have mis-printed that 7.85 & was most likely a 7.05 @ 99, I'm sure if i got in a good run with my boney ass from your 11.04 & would have hit 10.9s I'm glad i aborted to making that last pass, I would have felt really bad had that tailshaft let loose on me, I'm sure it'll be an easy fix though. I'd call John at Cope Racing & see what he thinks. Bobby is one of the coolest people i've met in a while, Who do you know that would let a total stranger (other then just chatting on Moparts) let you make as many passes as you wanted in there 10 sec. car, If you decide to come down to the shootout in Sept. that would be cool, as a spectator of coarse, i'll pack up a cooler full of goodies  Tell Lisa i said hi.

I guess i am very lucky i did not crash because when i got back there was trans oil all under the underside of my car all the way to the back bummper.the weard thing is the car drove straight and pulled like a train on topend. i mean there was no vibration etc.I did not even know i broke something untillm i got back to my pit area and the girlfiend came up as i was parking and asked me wear all the smoke was coming from.well would like to say it was nice to finally meet JOEDUST and his daughter.
