I can add that after the "parade lap" showing in front of the grandstands before 1st round of eliminations Bob Mazzolini's cuda had the fuel regulator crack open and spray fuel all over, lucky it happened before the run and they pushed the car back to the pits and loaded the car back into the trailer for the weekend.

I think the real winners were the people that were able to participate in the event. All the fast cars were there, and it shows that all it takes is a little $$$ and some hype and there can be a race that everyone will come to. As I type this we are sitting in a wal-mart parking lot waiting for the tornado force winds to stop. We saw a travel trailer that blew off the hitch of a pickup about 15 mins before we could find somewhere to stop.
Since Ogburn never does the random thoughts anymore, I have a few.
thanks to Phil Painter, Flowmaster, M/T, Jesel, and Nitro Joe for making the race possible. Michael O bought 2 drums of gas for our use, payed our entry fee, and fed us friday night, plus he gave me 1K that I didnt plan on getting from the dutch for low et.
Thanks to Steve H for trusting me with his new car, and to the holts for doing a good job putting it together, he should be a force to be reckoned with.
Me and rains in the final again, seems like we always end up racing before its over, guess that means we always make a few rds.
thanks to my dad for helping me change convertors, and getting the cars turned around. I think people figure out quick that we dont have time to BS on race day, its always a total thrash.
It was nice to see Dave R make a few decent runs, I think he deserves a break, he has had alot of problems over the years, and he ran pretty good on saturday.
Too bad the PA. teams didnt make it out, I heard that they picked up 50 HP over the winter, would have been nice to see how that played out, I have an idea how it would have.
All in all I think 15 cars showing up to an independant race, is an accomplishment, and all went well with the exception of the track op trying to rip everyone off for 300$ to test. Guess I did ok to save my money.

With all of the hugging and kissing going on regarding Vegas, I thought I'd be the one to say a very well deserved congrats to Jeff!
HUGE step forward!
