Thanks a bunch, I'm quite sure that everyone knows its been a struggle to get this FORD to where it is now, but its still not as fast as we want it to be. I have to give all the props to my dad, he is the greatest engine builder and FATHER that someone could have.

Stephen, that was a great post; it pretty much says it all. It was nice to see your name on the NHRA records page yesterday, congrats again. Maybe in 2010 you can make a trip up here to Div.1 and show off that bad Fairlane.

Way to go Stephen and Horace!! My car will never look that good going down the track, but you surely show me how it is done!! Congrats on the record!

I was there! That 9.49 run was a thing of beauty! Stephen snagged #2 gear 5 feet in the air and it kept on going gradually setting down and proceeded to truck down through the lights like a freight train on nitro. I am so proud of Stephen and Horace. It was an honor to be there and share time with them. Jim
