The boss did his usual fantastic job, all of our live reporters really ease the "pain" of not being there, especially in this case since the Grove is on my bucket list and it just never got below quota. Next year I'll have more than my current 4 grade points and hopefully can get in. Despite my misgivings about NHRAtv, having the opportunity too see the sportsman champion interviews on the return road was a big bonus. Looks like the stock championship is going down to the wire even with Santangelo winning since Jody kept pace and there are several who have a shot. Promises to be quite the race and plan on even attending Vegas to see how it unfolds.

Cooter, my deepest sympathies for your loss and look forward to seeing you again at Galot or the Rock.
