Two thoughts, DP, I LOVE your drive. Racing Paw-Paw's car and putting the stocker in play are exactly what I'm talking about. Doing whatever it takes to make it to the next race. You should be very proud of yourself and know I admire the sh!t outta your efforts. When you had issues at Charlotte and loaded up and tested somewhere else then came back for R1 the next morning.... commendable to say the least!

I love this stocker stuff. I've raced everything from Outlaw 10.5, T/S, T/D, Super classes, and other assorted heads up classes with decent success and I'll unequivocally say this is the most challenging thing I've tackled in racing. Going fast and making your car uber consistent using mostly 50+ year old technology and parts is an exercise in mad geniusness, fabrication, ultra tinkering, and just plain trial and error. When it all comes together it's a damn good feeling!

Thanks KA! You are my hero too. In fact you might be the first friend I ever made in stock when I parked next to you at the Charlotte National event in '23 when I was still spit balling building one in the first place. You couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating answering my flurry of questions with respect to class racing. You get "it" when it comes to class racing and drag racing more broadly. I appreciate you so much and I'll see you soon!
