Re: LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam
I'm sorry, Billy, I couldn't help it! I met Ortiz! Raced him, too. Pretty sure he whipped me at both ends, but I may let him feed me later to sooth my hurt feeling. ;-). He's already got two grills and a sling psychrometer out. I think it helps in determining the perfect atmosphere for making jerky.
Weather for Stock Q1: 72.6deg, 31%, 29.95, 1060' DA, 6 mph cross-head 5.87 @ 240 for Sheldon Bissesar in T/D... Running Q/R already, flying through things. Saw Brenda Grubbs, Nick Folk, HyperTension, a purty C/CM Corvette, the C/S Mustang that was .000 first round last year. David Hunt is driving a white '68 Mustang as a hired gun. Bertozzi's up under the Camaro... Trans? Just called Super Stock

Re: LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam
It's a real shame that IHRA can't get anymore racer support than what I'm seeing on DRC. They are providing you a place to race, and maybe that can place just a little presure on the NHRA. I thought the folks on here bitchin about the way they get treated (by the NHRA) would take a stand. I guess it's not really that bad after all. I say thank you to the folks that made the trip...the ones that race just to race. They are keeping it alive, and I will be happy to join them again soon! I often hear the racers saying "support the manufactures that support racing" hell the racers won't even support the sanctioning body. I hope that I don't develope the "I'm to good for IHRA syndrome" when I come out. I know I never did when I was out before!

Re: LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam
You got to look at it 3 ways some people up North are still snowed in.
Some people do not have there stuff together Yet.(We just fired ares up around 4:30 today.) The last is Money.If some are like me I have not work since July last year. But I do plan on racing just closer to home. Quote:

Re: LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam
Michael,
I see on DRC that my buddy Anthony made qualifying passes in stock, superstock, topdragster. Is this a miss print or did they change the rules allowing to race more than two cars...if it is a rule change I need a bigger trailer.LOL Richard |

Re: LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam
Misprint. Car #7 near the bottom of the sheet is John Boyer, not Anthony. Scotty's driving the Camaro. Boyer wiped a cam and will be heading home. Mayhew's having weird problems too. I told him he prolly put the cam in upside down. . Sittin on Boyer's cart listening to him and Mayhem argue about what could be wrong. Heard Gary Ranno will be here tomorrow.
Ortiz made wings tonight and we sampled all kinds of pepperoni and other delicacies. IHRA should pay him as a booked in show.

Re: LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam
I agree with what Wade said, and since Jim Wahl seconded his motion, I will have to third it. I realize NHRA is the gold standard for stock & S/S, but they're (IHRA) giving you a place to race like cars (stock & super stock). Take advantatge of it before they go away. Then, the other guys will really have you by the tail.
