it was quite the weekend at Vegas, as Thursday Sally & I parked over 250 cars in 70 mph wind gust. Friday was darn cold with Stephen Hebert with his Reher & Morrison powered Hemi Cuda being #1 spot in the SS/AH shooutout @ 8.577-152.93 but on the run a drive shaft left the car and played havic with the undercarriage of the car. Stephen, John & Benn Holt elected to load the car and call it a weekend cause of the damage done. Great Finals as Mark beat Dave on a holeshot 8.77 to Daves 8.72. Thanks guys for waiting a extra day to get better weather for finals as I know some wouldn't of been so understanding as the 7 i had there, great bunch of racers i had this year, thank you all.
1. S. Hebert 8.577-152.93
2. D. Raybourn 8.730-150.72
3. M. Vieira 8.809-150.75
4.R, Houser 8.824-155.01
5. T. Mandella 8.832-148.46
6. J. Percy 8.927-149.05
7. J. Jenkins 8.981-148.25
It was really great talking Jim Hale into coming to the event and watching him go on to win the SS/Stock Combo. Ken did a great job on his runner up finish also.
Also SS/Stock racer John Calvert won the special heads up A/FX eliminator we had there with his 64 Thunderbolt.
Thank you to everybody that came and ran the race and I'm going back to Ohio on Tuesday, my buddies, Rich South and Ralph Cardamone wants me to go to four wide with them as soon as i get off the plane but i'm passing on it so i can get the stats sent to the printers this week.

Nitro, thanks for your hard work, WCH host for dinner, the Magnificent 7 for coming, my Holt/Westlake crew and of course the Painter folks. Congrats to Mark for the win and Dave for the finals. Sorry about Rick's new motor breaking. Been there!
What a trip we had Texas wind/dust storms, Toter 10 mph from Phoenix to Kingman, trailer blowout, winch blow up, Phish Phrag driveshaft, blizzard leaving, more Texas dust/wind storms. Now in Athens Al in toronados in route to Holt's to repair the SledPhish. BUT near 130mph in the 1/8th makes it all good. Brad & Darin Morgan over at Reher/Morrison have it going on. See ya' at the Grove in June.
CALMED THE QUAKE!!!(AGAIN!)

Stephen was great meeting you. Man you had that Cuda humming to bad on the parts breakage woudl ahve been intersting to see the end result of a full pass. Awesome car.. Was great to get to talk to Dave as usual he is a great guy and very enthusiatic about the sport which is the way we all should be. You guys always put on a heck of a show and at this pace I better get with the program before you outrun my bucket o bolts

is there any hope or what is the status of having a form of a hemi shootout at the martin ihra national race? is there anything racers can do to help this along? do we need to come up with sponsor money?
I will contact Jason. I asked him about it earlier last year, than when I was over there testing one day, he aproached me to see if I could bring my hemi guys over there for their nitro jam race. I can probably get at least 5K in cash with one phone call. I havent persued it too much, cause I have been too busy. I think its a done deal if it doesnt conflict with any other dates.
I guess Martin is a no go, no time for the phone call? There is a purse being put together for Columbus JEGS Sports Nats. That gives us three more this year, I need a "shoe" as I have a schedule conflict for Columbus.
I talked to Jason in person, he seemed like he was interested, but it was going to be up to IHRA since it was their race, and I guess they werent interested. So yes I did have time, but I didnt see the point in posting the lack of an event that didnt exist.
Shouldn't have any trouble finding a "shoe", I hope they bring some socks that are worth 3 tenths.

Where did Spyphishs' post go? LOL Gotta love his humor!  And yeah I hope Bucky does make it to Indy even if its not 100%. You have to test somewhere... Its just funny, but wear a Bucky shirt at the races and Everyone asks "where is Bucky" "Is Bucky here"! I have never heard a bad story about Bucky. Certainly a Hemi fan favorite. And then when I wear my black Jesel/ Warfish shirt.... And, well at least the dirt doesn't show!!  just kidding

They're on the qualified sheet, so they ran at least one pass Saturday. Track was supposedly junk on Friday test session, stockers blowing the tires off. Gary, if you where there, how bad was the air and how was the track? Not bad numbers considering the conditions

Saw the air was 2700-3000' DA and a loose track in the morning... Sr & Jr have their grade points and are probably off testing somewhere else today...
