I would like to thank Jay(Jbody) His buddy Dave, Don(Jeepmon)and his son Jon for all thier help this week at the Street Car Supernationals. I needed help on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as my son had to work and could not be there. They volunteered thier time to come help me out with the cars and were invaluable in helping me get the cars out there and racing. They stepped up big time to help me out and it was a great of them to do so. It was a long weekend for sure with a lot of on track issues and we did not get many hits at the track but they all chipped in to make the most of the time we got. Had a couple little gremlins show up and they were right there to help get the issue sorted out. Unfortunately we only got one qualifying hit after finding the issue so I was not able to get as aggressive as I had planned. They really stepped up for me and I owe all of them a debt of gratitude and a few beers. From doing the grunt work while lashing valves, to setting tire pressures towing me up and video taping of the car, heck Jay and Dave even took pity on me and fed me one night they were all very helpful, went above and beyond and made it a fun weekend for me even with the issues.

I woudl like to also say I am very sorry about what heppened to the orange car on Dan. I was trying to let him get his licensing done in my other car and it had an issue with the glide on his first full hit. The planetaries just let go, odd thing is it happened when the car went on the stop. Strangest thing I have ever seen. But it was a weekend full of strange things. I am just sorry he did not get to finish his license. It is my fault for not having the spare glide ready to go yet. I tried to locate a replacement but could not find a two JW case glide we could use.

Thanks again guys. I appreciate it..

Also was nice meeting Micheal Doty. Great guy hopefully one of these days we can go racing together. Or heck lets go hunting up there in beautiful Montana...

Had a great time Al, as did Dave. I mentioned to him that I was going and he was over the top on getting us set up with the camper, food, etc..! Maybe the reason I can't consistantly hook my 10.5 is that I'm down about 700HP .

Oh man... what a weekend.. I dont think I have ever been so tired the entire 5 days...

Al... Like I said in the other thread.. This is probably the funnest weekend of racing I've ever had.. Thanks for your hospitality and thanks for allowing me to drive your car..

On the way home, there was a wide open section of Nevada dessert rode and I told Jon it was ok to open up the car.. over the mile or two of WOT, he got the "new hot rod" up to 130 before he had to shut it down..

I said not bad.. but I got you covered by 27 mph and it only took me 1/4 mile to do it in.. lol He flipped me off..

Jay.. It was really nice hanging out with you again.. Please tell me that this last weekend gave you the bug and you plan to wipe the dust off the white car next year.. It would be cool to line up against you sometime.... (MATS 2012)

Dave (2quick4you) It was nice meeting you and I wish you well with the plans you have with your car.. Hope to see you out at the track one day soon..

Jay, great pictures. I know you have more I concur that you need to get that car out there again. But if you dont want to drag it up here and I am sure my kid will happily test it for you Oh yeah tell Dave if he wants to be a personal race chef I'll buy the grub

Don, You need to drink more coffee, or maybe have more Chipotle Tired, it was a slow week. We did not even work hard this last week. Maybe it was the adrenaline rush and subsequent let down when the turd broke.

Dave was great to see you out there again. You ready for a Hemi now Be great to go racing with you one of these days. I assume you will be at the MATS now that you are a little closer. Come on by and hang out in the motorhome. I promise next time the Scotch and Beer will be there. Time to have some fun racing and not take it so seriously.

Now I have to decide what to do next with this stuff

I'd have no problem lining up Don..... except that I run PRO class and that would require YOU to be in the lanes by 8am!!!

That was about it for the picts Al, or at least the good ones. I snapped on average 20 at every launch and weeded out the ones that were not worth keeping.

It was all that standing around doing nothing,... Add to that we started off on the wrong foot by driving all night to meet you on Wednesday morning..

But hey.. lets do it again.. Feel free to ask anytime you need crew help..
