Chad Langdon also crashed his S/gas Henry J.

We've all read about it on the internet for months now, that personnel
cuts were happening at the NHRA and they were going to get deeper...

Wasn't that Danny Gracia sweeping the water box during Stock / Super Stock
on Friday and Sat.?

Just curious.

Barry, I do not know if you are talking about the Vegas race but I know in the later part of the day there were
multiple cars with traction issues, So the cold track issue with the new compound I think is a real issue, For
example I watched Leo Glassbrener with the same car as our's who I know rarely has traction issue's just blow the tires off the car in the late race for the number one quail tire race. Also talking with Steve Wann he
was saying his 60ft was all over the place as was our's. I firmly belive something has changed with the track prep and I noticed it at the Div 7 Bakersfield race also. BTW my uncle Rich said to say Hi and is
wondering when you are coming out again. Bob.

Pomona is what I was refering to Bob but I heard the same thing from Vegas. That just sucks! Looks like a one lane raceway now at Pomona.
Tell Rich and Bob hello for me. I have tested 3 times now. Had some issues with front shocks and other doo doo but on Wed night here it ran 78 under with mufflers and 100 heavy. Tyler, Jeff, Darren and I are working on it and see if we can get it better. Where is the Impala/Caprice? That car is cool! I will send you a pm.

That's Englishman Andy Wilsheer, a good foot taller than Rich.

Thanks Tom,,,, I could have a lot of fun here about Rich and a one foot difference,, but I'd better be nice. He'd probably thump me upside my head with his lens next time he sees me, even though hes' truly one of the nicest guys around.................................... Danny Durham

Hasn't NHRA been using VP Lane Choice ever since VP became their official fuel, etc.?
