Now this was a BIG surprise. Thanks Chris R/T - 03/17/10 11:37 PM

Last night I recieved a PM from Chris with the following

Quote:

Hey man, I do news writing for dragzine.com, and noticed the post about the Jr. Dragster engine you put together. I was interested in doing something on that to the effect of what goes into a Jr. Dragster engine. I think most of the info I need is in the post you made, but I was wondering if you had a pic of the Jr. dragster itself? And maybe a little info on like what series it's run in and where, plus who drives it would get an honorable mention. Anything else that you'd like to see mentioned I can do as well,

So please let me know,

Thank you,




Being a new member and me never hearing of the the site I was a little sceptical but after a little reading and verifing I sent him some info and said "Why Not"

I expected to hear back saying his boss decided not to run it but to my surprise it was ran today

Bill, between the new engine and Jr. Dragster......you must have been "Paying it forward" for a looooong time.

If things keep up for you, you'll be winning every weekend.

Never my luck with those one lungers.....the daughters drove me to drink....HEAVILY....I can tune anything...but a JR DRAGSTER...I even paid guys to straighten it all out.....they get it dialed in....I'd change the oil...and *POOF* tune is gone......never did get it consistant....
