What was your best moment in racing

My best moment is every time I get the opportunity to go. Some of the best people you will ever meet in this sport and willing to help you in anyway they can, I feel blessed to be able to do this and I am thankful everyday.

First one was being Pro ET champion at Englishtown in 1884,opps I mean 1984.Long time ago.
Second winning Atco LODRS race #2 in 2006.
Third getting two runners up at my first IHRA race.That was at MIR.Sat. r/u to Robbie Hudlow and Sun to Anthony Bertozzi.I still kick myself about the fact of missing out on one of their Ironman trophies.
Last but surely not least is the great people I've met in the past 12 years.Nicest people in the world.

1997, FMDRS race at Renegade Raceway in Yakima, WA.

I drilled 5 .5-oh lights in a row in qualifying. Went on to win the race, in only my 2nd Divisional race ever. My lights in eliminations were poor, as I was worried about it getting dark. .520, .540, .560, and .560-but the old Wagon was dead on (within .01) every pass.

I have not even come close since (haven't raced a lot), but was good-even if for only one day.

That's what drives me to want to race again. Great memory!

So far, I'd say St Louis 2010. Kevin Cradduck beat Dan Fletcher for class, and was runner up to Bobby Brannon in the finals in Stock Eliminator. Then Jerry Duke won Super Gas over our friend Scott Vanderwalker. So I was crewing two cars in final rounds at a National Event, with a win and a runner up.

MIR , 2006 in the finials of the 8th Top Stock race of the season against Joe Alluise Jr . Did the burn out started pulling foward and Joe would not stage. We sat there for 3 minutes then the starter made us stag . I had a .020 light and ran a 9.19@146mph for the win

This race meant the most to me out of any race I have ever raced , the year before Joe Sr told me I should quit racing as I would never win and that the LS1 could never out run any of the other combo's that race Top Stock

P.S. I sure wish Joe Sr was still racing
