Congrats to Carey Bales

As a long time lurker here and after watching this weekends racing I had to make a post to give credit to Carey, Mike & all the guys.
What an impressive performance! I know that you guys worked hard for it and you'll keep working at it until you make the perfect pass. 10.00 in E/SA.... wow! BTW where the hell did that killer 60' come from?

Pretty good performance for a car that went to the LODRS race at Joliet made 1 hit & got a DQ.

Not bad at all..............

I wonder how fast that combo will run once he figures out how to open the hood????????

Yea. I'm always impressed when someone brings a howitzer to a gun fight. That's alot to be proud of. Kinda like being proud of beating your 5yr old at basketball.

A soft combination makes for a fast car.

Thanks man. Much appreciated.

I also want to thank Eric Merryfield for giving me the awesome opportunity to drive his VERY fast car in the US Nationals (a dream of mine since I started racing). The whole experience has been very humbling, something I'll remember and cherish for the rest of my life. His car hauls, and there is still a ton left in it.

Now if only I didn't redlight in the finals of class......

Also, without Mike Roth (MR2Performance) and Devin Pearce (AEM Electronics) none of this would be possible. Thanks guys!!!!

Wow...You can taste the jealousy. Nothing like kicking a guy in the nuts for going fast.

Congrats here also. I don't think it was all that easy. I saw Carey working on the front brakes to fix a problem and some of the brake assembly being fixed in the dirt in the pits. And why take the hood off it you don't need to? But I will say I saw the hood off and Carey doing some minor engine work.
