There's still a few dark clouds over here in Glendale, with the sun coming out.
The radar here looks good ,all the way back to Ca, so you guys should be okay before long. (11:15 MST)

I just clicked on the NHRA audiocast and it say's the event is over. What's up with that?

It's on now, but it's just playing music.

Cool....

It seemed a bust to have to do it back in Ohioland...I couldnt see that happening. I was wondering how it would get fixed on the road as it were....

" doing all the little things for free."

Hmmmm....like stipping the sound deadner and urethane body sealer ?

Hey Mack or Larry whats that worth you think ?

Gotta be 2 days labor lol...

Cheers

Chris

Jeg's car was fixed at Phil Mandella's shop after Pomona. Phil told me I could make a post on here saying it was fixed. Not surprised Phil got it done that fast. He does great work. He told me he would like to build one of the new Challengers and he would do it up right, doing all the little things for free.

Danny Gracia should be there as well, so either of them could be asked about this, but as I recalled if you ran your index or quicker, that was enough to be a class winner, and that was from Bruce himself.

Added note to talking with him...notice that in the records section that the minimum e.t. required for those unset class records are only 2 tenths quicker than our new indexes! I was also told that they're going to be under review this year as well....
