Yeah, I noticed, just wished you wouldn't have put Gina on the trailer in the 5th round Sun

I guess you had no choice though if you were going to take the win for the day.

I told her sooner or later she was gonna race someone that knew what they were doing



Congrats on you're win

my boy and i got to meet nick at last years chrysler classic at columbus. he is a great kid that really wants it bad. as we left for our motel him and his friend were staying in a very small pup tent. we arrived the next morning and you know it rained all night, one was in the car sleeping and the other was in the tent. i told my 15 yr. old boy just how much nick really wants it. we talked to him and he was a great kid. good luck nick and if bracket racing is not about how fast you go or how nice your car is or how much money you spend you still have to cut a light and run the number so keep having fun and i hope you knock them dead. if racing was the fastest car we d all stay home good luck nick your a good kid

I love watching dragsters chase down a consistent but slower car. Usually resulting with the dragster edging him out at the beams. Great job!

Nick you had a killer weekend. It was fun watching you go rounds in the car. Some of the packages I heard out of you were insane. I know of a 007 on with a 2. for 009 pack. I heard several more better than 020 packages. That is sweet.

Keep it rolling into this weekend for the Bracket Finals and get yourself an IronMan.

My problem with you running in the box class was only the fact that you didn't have to wear a helmet or a good set of seat belts. If something went wrong in the other lane and they ran into the back of you, well you do the math 85 mph vs 145 up to 175 mph and you where done for. As for your racing ability just AWESOME

challenger 1320 has a very good point. all bracket 2 should be foot brake that would eliminate all delay buttons and all the cheating but thats topic is for another day nice job nick

I don't want to detract from a fine piece of driving, either, but I have always felt that there should be a minimum of 11.49 in those gamblers for safety reasons.

As Challenger1320 stated, the Super Pro cars have mandatory safety equipment such as fire suit, gloves, boots, neck collar, helmet, etc. A street car driver has only a seat belt...I know which car I'd rather be in if there were an accident.

yeah but u can run 11.99 in super pro and not have a roll bar just have to have a helmet..... the rules are set by e.t. not by class.. i ran box in my car a couple years ago at columbus and one guy said whats this i told him a no box car running in box... i was back second round... but i didnt see him...........
