Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Finally - one leaving like a "real" stocker.

Watch out here they come.

Wait until the CJs leave like that.

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

I am so glad to see Chris' dream and prediction come true! I spoke with him on the Thursday before he passed and he seemed a little frustrated to me. Thank you Keith for all the hard work you have put in on the car. You are truly a good man. Not only is Chris smiling, he is jumping up and down!

The "Droozemobile" is a #1 qualifier!

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

I just wanted to add my best wishes to all the "Droozemobile" Crew.... I know that Keith and David have spent many an hour wondering what the heck is going on...... Thanks for keeping on keeping on.... I know Chris is having a wonderful day today!!!!!!

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

I echo what the others have said and man is that car leaving! Now that is how you make a Drag Pak leave.

David, Keith, and who ever else have really got that car working. Nice to see.

WOW,that is just great!

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

That's cool. I wonder if they're going to go ahead and award class Wallys.

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

A "Show And Go Car" not to many things better.

Great job! Go get 'em!

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

I just knew this was coming......way to go David and Keith. You made countless people smile w/that pass at Reading....Keep going! WJ;)

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Thanks to all you who have supported and encouraged us along this long and often frustrating road..

Chris put a lot of himself into this car, and the suspension components were all of his choosing, so the the fact Keith took the car into the air and it came down so sweet and soft is all Chris' work.

Believe me, this was an awesome, and long awaited moment for the New Hemi team.

And it wouldn't have happened without Keith Lynch. Chris connected us with Keith, and Keith built this last motor as I watched and hoped we were making the right choices and doing the right things. I never really doubted Keith, but I missed Chris and his way of doing things, so it was new to me. But now, to finally see the combination of Chris's work, and Keith's work come together in such a statement making way, is such an absolutely amazing thing, that it is simply hard to describe how I feel. But I am certainly pumped up right now.

Here at the track, many have come up to me to express their feelings about Chris and to donate to the kid's fund. And many have congratulated us on the run today.

Thanks to everyone. And may God Bless, you all richly for your support and encouragement, and all of your help!

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

I will be at Reynolds next week for the Div 2 race and have plenty of the Memorial Decals for you racers who wish to donate to Chris' kids! Give all you can guys! Jim

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

I had the opportunity to meet David yesterday. He "leaked" some information on the Doozemobile HP capabilities. I'm happy to report he was dead nuts on! Congradulations. Eric

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Oh yes, and they did hand out Wallys to the class winners.. No big photo against a nice background, but hey.... the Wally is still nice to have.

Once for Best Appearing car, One for class Winners and we might even get one for best appearing crew... or not.... But I think we have more Wallys in our future.

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Absolutely, can not express how happy I am for you.

I am sure Keith did what he knows has worked for years.

It takes a team to have things come together.

It takes passion and a reason, which I know you have.

Sorry, for hoping you were going to be in and out of my B/SA class quickly.

Say hi to Keith for me.

:-) peace

David

Congratulations on an outstanding performance! You surely can take pride in all the effort put into your results!

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

David, how close to the minimun were you all on weight? The way I figured it your min. is 3128 lb.

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

FYI - NHRA will sell you duplicates if you want one for family, team member, sponsor, etc. They used to be $125 but I'm sure they have gone up & there is probably a limit. But for such an emotional victory, it would seem warranted. Call Glendora, CA for info.

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

I think it would be fun to make a class or two for the new factory cars like they did for the hemis in super stock. Add the camaro and any other company that could build one maybe toyota or honda. Class would be fun I believe and good for the fans. Congrats on the run and will you be at the Dutch?

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Well, we didn't go very far in eliminations as you all know, but we are still trying to figure out this beast.

Everyone was giving us word that it was between 2 and 6 hundreds slower that morning, and as we looked at our weather gear, we also figured it might be a couple slower.... But apparently nobody told the car.

Our first issue with the elimination run was that leaving at the same time as the previous run, was leaving too way soon, as the car hooked like we thought this car should hook. Our 60 foot time was monster for a car like this one. And our second issue was that the car liked the air so much better than anyone thought, so we actually ran faster than yesterday. Oh Well, when we learn what this car will do, and where, and when it will do it, we will be just fine.

As for our weight, if we keep running this way, we will forget about taking out all of that extra weight that we thought would keep us in low tens. In fact, we may need to add more somewhere.

After sitting on the sidelines at so many races, for nearly a year I just think that this car is like a championship thoroughbred horse who now, when it finally gets it chance, simply won't be held back from its destiny.

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

David and Keith you guys got to be proud of the ''Droozemobile'' I like it

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Congrats on a job WELL done ! Great to see it come along so well after all you've been thru ! Enjoy this for a long time !!

Re: Congrats to the "Droozemobile" at Reading
 

Wow, I had no idea that anyone would actually snap that picture. Now I need to make better headway on my diet so I don't look so fat next to Wally...

Thanks for all the encouragement.

Along the way, we may not have been as successfulat running as we were entertaining...

And if you could have heard me as I helped push the Mega Maniac off to the side, you might have thought I wasn't surprised at having a problem at that point in the race.. But that last incident just demonstrated that the problems are behind us know.

Thanks again guys, it really does mean an awful lot!

Congrats David & Keith on your great qualifying run! We enjoyed pitting next to you guys this weekend. We're looking forward to meeting up with you and Keith at the Noble points race and towing out west together.

What's wrong with the background in your picture? I think my M/H & Saturn wagon looked pretty good LOL!!
