The kid went 6 rounds today and won a Sportsman race at our local Mopar only race.. So on the way home, all I heard from him was "So Dad.. when are you going to win?"

Yeah yeah yeah.. he really rubbed it in that he was able to take home a pay check and I havent yet.. lol

Seriously, I'm proud of my son.. he was able to keep his cool and put some rounds down today..

Once I won a race in Vegas and luckily my dad was down here with me. Pocketed $400. A month later he wins a $1000 dollar shootout. I run 10.0 with my big block.... He goes 9.8 with a small block no less. Lesson here is you need to man up and show him who's boss!!

Congrats on the WIN!!

Btw Don my last win was in my dads car with him by my side at his home track. Great times!!

Congrates to Jon.

It's always easier to win when someone else has worked all the bugs out of the car...got to give Don some credit here.

Either way 6 rounds is alot of concentration and stress for a rookie.

Congrats to you and your son.
I know exactly how you feel, my son just won the points series at Norwalk for 8.90 jr dragster and is the season champion. He has been busting my butt about at-least getting a trophy this year, he has three event wins, one R/U, and a semi and he got a Wally this year to boot.
I've been lucky to make it a few rounds but I loved every minute of this year.

Tell him nice work!

Eric

Yea as we loaded up after a 2nd round red light in Pro we noticed he was "going rounds". Congrats to you guys!!

"So Dad, when are you going to win"? Huh...

Remind him it's your car and you can take the keys back...LOL!

Curious: Who did he beat in the final?

Know who won Pro???

He beat a kid in a newer 300.. I think it ran mid 12's.. We spoke to the driver of the 300 and he admitted he got too excited as he redlighted and gave Jon the victory, its too bad, because it would have been a heck of a race..

Steve Parrish ended up winning the Pro race.. Another red light win.. He went up against the Plymouth Arrow B/gas car..

I love it! A guy with a 440 in a 55 Chevy wagon wins at a Mopar race. It's all good...Steve is a good guy! I even remember when that 55 of his was nice! Well, nicER...

And Cliff in the Arrow. Comes in makes no time runs, puts 8.60 on the window, runs the number...and goes to the final.
