Ole' Rick had a day to remember saturday with a runnerup finisn in S/Rod at IHRA ProAm. He had something to prove when the hitters scoffed at him and he preceded to nail them all to the tree with a .000 in 3rd round earning him 4th round bye, .003 and I think .001 in the final!! Great job Rick!

Thanks Wayne and same to you CHAMP....

Thanks to all for the props...

I got smeared first round on Friday...LOL

Saturday just started out great and I guess when it's your day, it's your day....even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then...

Round Two put me against John Taylor who was top 10 in points for div2 2008 and a personal friend.

0.000 6.428 123.52 "Winner"
0.025 6.418 121.62

Round Three was a Bi-Run

Round Four put me against another personal friend and former IHRA National Winner: Tony Thompson.

0.005 6.404 123.02 "Winner" 0.009 pkg.
0.029 6.402 115.86

Final Round against IHRA Champion Todd Thompson # Four in the World 2008 and another personal friend and also my engine builder along with his Uncle "Mike Thompson". Tree'd him by a whopping .032, but picked up .05 in the 60' and broke waaaaay out....??????

0.033 6.394 116.58 "Winner"
0.001 6.343 123.12 "Runner-up"

Nice job. Can't argue with those lights. Looks like you need a new set of brakes though! Just kidding with ya. Thats quite an accomplishment. Looks like you and Megadart had a great weekend.

To the greatest racer on the board, winning with a Vette, great job. Congrats. Did you clean up with contingency money , also ?? Sounds like the beginning of a great year. Keep it up. How old are your wires?
