Red one is RJ's they had it in D/SA this weekend. The green one is Kirk Morgan's car. If I'm wrong ill hear it from RJ, but I think it's a 390. Ed

They are both 390 cars.
The green one has more weight
and ran F and RJ took weight out
and ran D.

I had something come up Friday pm and
couldnt make it back on Sat to finish up
the thread.I apologize for that but some things
cant be helped.

Ed is correct both cars are 390 powered, good to see Kirk go the final, there is not a finer person in the pits as far as I am concerned, he helps me out alot. Brent Carpenter is in the same catergory, and its good to see some young people involved. Ed you are indeed a lucky man. Congrats to David Latino, on his Stock win and his Runner up in SS. It was a trying type of day with the 95 degree weather and changing track conditions. Thought that IHRA did a pretty good job on the starting line considering the heat. I believe that most of the Stockers had to dial it for spin during the day and then take there best guess when the sun went down. Overall we had a good time, it was close to home and Kirk was in the final.

It really is a mystery as to why more S/SS racers won't come from the Houston (157 miles away) and Dallas (225 miles away) areas. It cost us $80.00 for the Membership and car number and $200 to race. Kirt will hopefully collect around $2000.00 for his Runner up in Stock and David Latino will collect at least 4 or 5 times or more than that for his S/SS showings. Not a bad two day pay check

They must have had 30,000 specators for the race and that should make IHRA happy. I have never seen a bigger crowd at SAR and that includes Pinks.

Later RJ
