That article is confusing  So NHRA wants to keep the track NHRA ... but it loses that national event if ownership is transferred? Me thimks they’ll be keeping that track LONG TIME ! This is not the financial climate to be selling something like this UNLESS it’s fire sale priced..... And NHRA very VERY rarely does that !

The truck and trailer is on its way to Vegas. I'm so excited to put the 2 Florida races behind me. Just to give you guys a idea what kind of work that we put in behind the scenes here you go.we came back from Gainesville and put the motor that was in my car on the dyno made 4 pulls junk. I worked on some valve train stuff. 4 more pulls the next day I liked what I seen. Take the motor apart I find something got number 3 cylinder put a new piston in that hole. Put the motor back on the dyno 4 more pulls back to the numbers it normally makes but better up around 10000. I did notice it had more blow by than normal but the numbers looked really good so I put it in the car and went to Mir made a run ran faster than I have ever run but the vacuum dropped bad in first gear. Came home took it apart 1 3 5 7 pistons were just touching the head in one spot and pinched the rings. Detailed the chamber to give it a little Clearnce and put the pistons in the lathe relieved a little bit above the ring land to protect the ring. Put the motor back together back on the dyno 4 more pulls. It averaged 20 better than my best. Take it apart again look over the pistons everything looks good back together in the trailer on the road.

I'm sure many members on here do not know how muck work is involved to be able to compete at the level like you are in NHRA Pro Stock  Let alone the the time and expenses involved in driving to and from the races and the actual time spent at the races to race the car Congratulations and keep up the good work

Well we are back at it this weekend in georgia. Vegas was so bad I wanted to quite but maybe we finally figured out what has been killing us all year. The new wires that we got over the winter were not locking on the spark plugs unbelievable. It makes sense now it runs great on dyno runs and like [censored] in the car. I should have checked them on the dyno before I ran them in the car the little things get you every time. We have worked so hard on are engine program for the last year now the car is suffering. We are running two cars this weekend so we will have are hands full. If anyone is at the race come by and say hello. I think it was you last qualifying pass that caught my interest. Your ET wasn’t that great but unless there was an mistake on Drag Race Results your mph was up there with top top qualifiers.
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time
