Way to go Ray. It was pretty nerve wracking I'm sure.
On the last day his completion ran faster than Ray,a couple times but not enough to overtake him.
Ray won by by like .0064.

Great job, Ray! It was easy to find you on the live feed, since you seemed to be first out every day!

Thanks guys. I have a pretty good story for the last day.

I think I made 7 passes on last day. Maybe more. But on my 2nd to last pass I thought the lanes were closed. I was back in the pits. Taking my jacket pants and shoes off. My phone and keys were laying on a piece of metal i added between the grill and radiator support. Jeff Sias made a pass and it wasnt enough. Sias' copilot walks past my car grabs a bottle of nitrous and tells me he is going to cool off their car. I laugh.

My copilot says they are making another pass. I thought the lanes were closed. He said get dressed and make another. Oh lord, my clothes are soaked. I get dressed. We are arguing about what lane i should try. I go around Sias in the lanes. My copilot notices my car keys laying in front of the radiator and throws them in my car. I go against my copilot and go over to left lane. Make my best pass. On the return road. I hear a huge bang. Grinding and engine shuts off. I get out to look for rods hanging out of the engine. While im looking around. I hear facebook IM dinging. My phone is just sitting there in front of the radiator. Like 4 guys are telling me nice pass. Havnt got to ticket booth so i dont know what I run.

I call my copilot and tell him i blew it up and am worried I wont win if I cant drive it back to pits. He goes to ask Lonnie Grim race director if I have to be towed will i lose. I try to restart motor and it fires up and i drive back to pits. I dont know what happened.

I would not have even made it to DW without Brad Bowers, Tory Shelhamer and my copilot Zac. It was awesome

My CRT 904 got tortured and worked great all week. My Thumpercarb is like efi.

Way to go man, that last 9.91 sewed it up for ya. Even though your competition was in a Ford and you guys put on a hell of a show, I gotta give that guy props for being such a consistent threat all week rowin gears, he had some bad passes for sure, but it was a great battle. Him and the 55 Chev both earned lifetime man cards.


Mopar to the bone!!!
