Stephen, that was a great post; it pretty much says it all. It was nice to see your name on the NHRA records page yesterday, congrats again. Maybe in 2010 you can make a trip up here to Div.1 and show off that bad Fairlane.

Stephen, Congratulations. Great Run on You tube. Even better response to include DAD.
I look forward to seeing you both again this summer.... Dick Butler

Way to go Stephen and Horace!! My car will never look that good going down the track, but you surely show me how it is done!! Congrats on the record!

I was there! That 9.49 run was a thing of beauty! Stephen snagged #2 gear 5 feet in the air and it kept on going gradually setting down and proceeded to truck down through the lights like a freight train on nitro. I am so proud of Stephen and Horace. It was an honor to be there and share time with them. Jim
