We haven't been out much this year and Dad isn't working the hours he used to so it's nice to see his motor is #3 on the list. What a guy! (you think I'm prejudiced? )

Thanks, Joe. Your article, as usual, is great.

you kinda started it when you had to jump in on viera's success. I think its cool that he builds his own motors. Then had to tell how he was getting screwed by the last guy (harry). I kinda like harry, and I took offense to that. I had to explain to bucky and comella today who you are, I guess they hadnt heard how cool you are.
And I apologize to Dave R. for misrepresenting what he said to me. I get along well with him also even though he took his work elsewhere.
Dork? whatever. 5 of the top 9 cars on nitros list are my customers, where are yours.

I read your article on MM. Do you have the points? You are aware that columbus and the dutch count for 08 aren't you. I dont think I have anything wrapped up, I think Cake is close.

Yes, I know, but it's real close to a done deal, anything can happen! But yes, Pancake is in second.
Good Luck to everybody at Indy and I'll be writing a daily blog for Mopar Max on site, so this will be fun to watch. I just wish it would get promoted better at the US Nationals!

warford went a .94 @ 148, the bales group was there(silver bullet) with mr2 and D barton, they never made a good run while we were there, it was a new car, and I am sure it needs some tuning. maybe mr2 can tell us how it went after we left.

The two runs when you guys were there the car dead hooked for about ten feet then went into a weird controlled spin and blew the tires away. We found the right side rim was spinning so bad in the tire that it turned the bead into molten rubber. Don't know if it was the powder coat or what. Put 6 rim screws in the right rear and it went right down the race track with the frontend about 1 foot in the air went 1.23 and 9.11 144.9 something. Not fast but you gotta start somewhere. Changed some stuff yesterday and picked up almost 2 more mph. Going to columbus today. I'll post the update when we get back.

I'm just curious if WC uses Shivy Orange paint on his engines? I've been to several Hemi Shootouts in Belle Rose and saw his car at Indy in 2004, but never ventured by to take a look.
