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!

I would have been there is we were able to get one of these darn cars finished..... Did not think it would be this bad to update a car ( almost 2 years now). And running low on funds to get the new Dragster finished, but soon it will be done and Ill be back to breaking parts, I mean racing with everyone else...

Well, we got two shots at the track today. It was in great shape and one of the smoothest surfaces I've raced on. I was a little off on the first shot 028, 10.837. The second I was paired with Rudy, I was 009, 10.95 he was 012, 10.83. At least I hit the tree (racing some one like Rudy brings that out). Still trying to post photos hopefully tomorrow we get it.

Tom Sr.

P.S. Chance of lite snow today, Saturday 29; better chance for tuesday into wednesday next week. Found a home down there yet? HA! HA!

Robbie Welch · 01-29-2011, 05:02 PM

Thanks Tom. We ended up #1, 004 &10.906. But it's official I still suck. First round 038 & 10.904. Second round I was 028 &10.866, he was 027 & 10.88 and I had a ton of stripe. I'll learn one day, you can't wait until the mph stripe to react. Well it's off to Immokalee tomorrow .Tom Joseph, now I have time to work on the photos thanks. Bob, Rudy's running his permanent number.
