Great job by both! Beard almost put that FWD car in the winners circle! People who have never driven one don't know how tough that is! Jim

[MikeMoller]

Amen to that! Good job to both guys!

x2 in a BIG WAY TO YOU MICHAEL! I'm starting to believe that YOU will be the first fwd major race winner since Mark Yaccavone in Stock Eliminator (and this century to boot)! Those were some awesome rt's, and it's just a matter of time (like your next race), before that happens...heck, I hope you drive like that at the T.O.C. race this fall...I'll certainly be rooting for you!!!

Gary, if I win the World Championship in a FWD car, hundreds of S/SS racers will QUIT!

Sorry I didn't get to do any "LIVE from" reporting this weekend. Slam busy running two cars. I did get just a couple of pics over the weekend, and then one overview of the track last night when I made my second trip to go pick up the Turismo.

- Dunn-Benson Dragstrip
- the new Sloan Engines/Southland Speed 5.9L DragPak
- The Volare returns!
- Stock loaded up in the lanes
- "Pinto Bean" Steve Alford made a rare Stock appearance, shoeing the Pearsall family's Camaro
- There's Billy Plage, but "Where's Bugaj?"
- Thanks to everyone for their help!
- The Turismo "at speed", such as it is. Photo by CJ Perry.

Must be some high speed film to capture the Duck in motion.

Rolol....

Michael, do you remember the Christmas Cartoon "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"? Do you remember the part in the show where the grinch just saw "Little Cindy Lou Who, who's no more than 2"? And the part where the Grinch said something like the Who's down in Whoville, would just say "Boo Whooooo"? That's how I'd feel about those S/SS racers who would feel that way...."BOO WHOOOOOOO!!!!

Michael, congrats....BUT, you get them all the time! Let's not forget what kinda driving Mark Young did in that S/S'r this weekend! Some of you guys and gals don't even know who he is or how long he's been doin this game we call drag racing!

Proud to call him a friend and Really glad to see him back in the winners circle where he belongs! Look out s/s racers, TOPGUN is back!

I have to admit, when he has that car "lose" and the front end is hanging out there......that car is a blast to watch! Good job to both drivers for sure!
