Jeff, you should've just given me the $500 protest money and put it towards tuning that Southland slug of yours. I would have been more than happy to lend a hand but you're obviously too proud to ask. I'm blown away that you honestly thought we would put our reputation on the line by cheating. You really showed your true colors this weekend. At least I had the balls to go through teardown. Maybe your pistons are the ones they should be looking at.

And to say we ruined the combination is plain absurd. We would still be at the top of the sheet with the added weight. This was our first outing since we updated the car. Trust me, there is lots left, I was only getting started with the tuning. Plus the air was terrible. 1750 da with 85% humidity, far from the Gainesville and Val Dosta weather. Maybe .15-.20 slower?

Yes, we will be receiving a HP hit next week, but at least we are walking away with an official NHRA record in hand which means a lot in my book.

Congratulations David! Great run! Us CJ guys new that the V10s had that potential. Fantastic for you guys.

Since Pat is not the owner things were probably going to slide some. It's a shame. Pat always ran a first class race and had built the reputation to a very high level. I have been treated as well at some other tracks but never better.

Here are stock round one sheets that my brother Jim sent me.

Wow! Paul Wong made a statement 1st round. Went a 13.11 on his 13.74 dial in lifting. A whopping -1.534 the U/S index! Nice run Paul,now about that .486 stripe...... :-)

1320 is showing Jeff Colvert with a dial of 9.85 against Cummings right now. No way thats right.

Ed,

Either that dial appeared to be correct. He looked like he shut off early and tried to run 9.85. Either that or it was wrong and he noticed it was wrong but it was too late to change. I am sure he will chime in later if that was the case.

I'd love to get into one of those Ford's. Mopar isn't doing me any favors.
