Best wishes to Mark Faul in Chicago!

Had a chance to finally meet Mark Faul this weekend and of all places, at a dragstrip....
We were not racing but covering the race for a Canadian drag racing website and took the time to snap lots of pictures and make some mental notes.

Mark was competing with both the Stocker and the Super Stocker in Medicine Hat, AB $50,000 3 day Bracket bash and did extremely well. Now, Mark didn't know me from "Adam" but took the time to talk about his racing exploits at the Hat and mentioned he was on his way to Chicago for the Jeg's Sportsman race (TRW race for us old guys) after the weekend. Dam, I miss that race....

Mark, you were a gentleman and a scholar in taking the time to speak with me and always had a smile and wave when we were in the vicinity.

I want to wish you all the best in Chicago and go bring home the gold for yourself and Division 6.

Go Mark,

Mike Ferstl

Second that, Mark is a wonderful ambassador to the sport and we Albertans have been hosting him here for a few races now (took most of the winnings the bugger), Mark your welcome back anytime too bad there wasnt two stockers in the final on sunday that would have been fun. Good luck in Chicago!

Mike, thank you so much for all the compliments! That was a very fun, but hectic 3 day race. Nice meeting you.

Dion, it would have been nice to do battle, but Jaime Clerf was having no part of that. Got both of us!
