I can't wait to see them - I have one ready to roll. Word is the same speed as 4cell mod. I also have my 10.5 itching to run against Pedano again. That was fun racing last time.

I know let's just hope that it doesn't take my dad spending 10,000 to get me there.


I looked at it as yah so I made the B yah it sucks but lets go out there and win the B and run fast. and show that isn't where I belong. I owe it to my sponsors and teammates. I'm not like others.

sure was fun and pitting in the back room was like a 2 day circus. lol

Thanks to Mike and his Family for a great race. Also to Scarecrow for another well done show. It was alot of fun, I was a little sick all weekend I hope nobody catches what I have. To say the least being sick and driving 14 hours home wasn't fun....But, I made it and Looking forward to the Snowbirds.....

It was good racing with all the FL racers. The A-mains were wild and fun to watch.
