Russ, Do you really think Ashley's cat could peer in your window, and give you the "cut-off" sign when you have a leak, or decide when and how to repair a starting line?
I've been Drag Racing for 25 years, and I've never personally seen anyone run the track from the burnout box to the starting line any better.
I could write 4 paragraphs on the good decisions, and great decisions, I've seen him make on the fly, and how many times I've seen him put drivers in thier place when the need arrises.
So go ahead and laugh at the trained monkey in the show, who no longer really throws the switch, but he has my respect and appreciation for the job he does.

The latest and greatest version of Auto Start..It is all part of corporate downsizing. Hey at least they managed to have more than 16 cars in each class at the season opener. Although Inotice there are plenty of new names, old paint/wraps and cars and a definite lack of corporate sponsorship.

Did anyone catch the comment about until this year it was a set amount of time after the last stage light and that drivers could hit the tree early to cut better lights??? Did the starter not have the switch then???
"Turbo will be easiest, and at the HP level will also be easiest on parts. Spend the money to do it right, and you can build a 500 HP street motor that will live a long and happy life, and probably with a very basic short block."
Those words must have left a bad taste in his mouth!
