I try to hook up with him when he comes out to California for the winter. He came out to Fontana this weekend to help me with my cars maiden voyage. I had to upgrade my license with 3 passes since I've got a long wheel base car and open cockpit. Once signed of, I went into competition in the electronics Super Pro. On Saturday I redlite in the semis. On Sunday with the help of Greg on the dial ins, I took the win in the electronics super pro. I had Lady Luck on my side for doing so good on the first time out with a new car. Thanks again Greg, see ya next year.

Don, thanks for inviting me, had a great time!
I have to say, I haven't seen any dragsters that look nicer. Show quality and
The best in function!
I am not about to take much credit for helping with the dial ins! Don got the first round bye run due to a .00 reaction time. Outstanding for the first race in a new ride! And congrats on the win!
JustaDart, Rod, was there, great to get a chance to visit, Rod! Also met Mike, another Mopar guy and friend of Rods.

Congrats on getting the new car out there and having a good weekend racing it. We will be in Fontana for the NMCA race, sounds like my son is coming and running his dragster in the bracket class as well.

I ended up buying an American Racecar chassis. I ended going with the 242" wheel base. Rear single Penske rear shock. It was built new as a rolling and wired with the Msd grid and Racepak IQ3 dash. Not trying to be a sales rep for them, but the do build a very nice car.

Did You sell the red Duster to get the dragster? i liked Your Duster. Congratulations. Keep an eye out for Dave Hall in Vegas for S/Pro. He almost can't lose so far this year at Sac.
