What a fantastic job of driving. The man has no quit

i n him. Overcame numerous obstacles. Many would
have loaded up and left. I knew as long as he was on
the sheet would be a contender. Hopefully in the

next H.P. revue combo gets some long overdue H.P. back.

Should fall within NHRA AHFS guidlines.

Brutally beat up combo from years / decades back when .50
under was well up the qualifying sheet. Last time a

V/SA made a NHRA national final round ?? Lane Weber Denver 2001..
Hats off to Drew Skillman and congrats as well. Can't

be easy waiting 7.1... I was on the starting line, Seemmed
like Drew was on the 2 step prabably a bit earlier than

he would have prefered.

Congrats To Drew and Lane. Well done !

While waiting for the rain to stop before the final I told Drew his car cover was worth more than my car. He chuckled. Disappointed in my driving on both ends in the final but very fortunate to even get past first round! Thanks again everyone, hopefully it won`t be another 17 years for another shot at the "Big Man"!

Congrats, Lane! you give all of us who love 'dime rockets' hope!

Thanks again everyone! I`m humbled.

Congrats Lane! Impressive to say the least!!!

For you guys not too familiar with Mr Weber. He’s a Summit ET World Champion in Super Pro in ‘03.

He won the D5 Stock Division Championship in the mid 90’s only going to 5 races.

After losing 5 tenths to the index a few years back it was great to see Lane gettin it done at an NHRA race again.
