Thank you, Frank. I am truly blessed. Being involved in drag racing my entire life has helped create a strong family bond. My Dad, me, Jared, the support of our spouses. Not to mention my non-blood family members such as Don Little, Steve Wann, Jim Cimarolli. My husband had a stroke 2 weeks ago (he is recovering wonderfully), if not for that, we would be with Jared & Don this weekend. There is a lot to fault NHRA for but I can overlook most of it because of the fun we have at the track!

Well friends, your live reporter took his wife into Portland and doing a little sight seeing. I'll be away for a few hours and, assuming DRC doesn't beat me to it, will post final sheets and ladders later.

Tried to edit the wrong thread. :-)

Edited to add, he's really not "spoiled", that's a term of endearment. He works very hard. I feel blessed we are able to help him chase his dreams.

I'm a LITTLE spoiled. 😉

Ok gang, final ladders attached. I know, I know...I slacked off today. Sometimes in life you get what you pay for!

We're down 2 cars that I know of in Stock: Dave Flett and Chuck Rayburn. Not sure about SS.

I have to share. I woke up the other morning and someone had vandalized my car. I know! I was pretty upset too! I attached a picture of the damage. My #1 suspect is that shady Rayburn guy. Gotta keep an eye on him.

Thanks again Jared for all the post and pictures. I love your Dodge, very beautiful car and FAST too.

You, indeed, are a very lucky young man. Surrounded by family that helps you achieve your dreams.

Are you, by chance, going to be at Pacific Raceways for the Nationals or the Divisional up here. I would love to meet you and see your car in person. If so great, but if not good luck to you and your family.

Great job reporting Jared. You have a beautiful car that performs well. That must have been some race losing by.00 If I ever get my car done, I'll see you out there.

I wish I could do either one of those two races, but I have a homicide trial scheduled for August 22 (I'm a prosecutor) that's going to take precedence. I burned up quite a bit of my vacation time taking off this week and the next two to get my fix. I appreciate the well wishes and I'm sure we'll catch up at a race track soon. I'm blessed beyond words, no doubt. Thanks!

Greg Kielman is a very good racer by reputation and he didn't disappoint in my race with him. I knew I'd have to cut it close to beat him. Unfortunately, I used a little too much left foot and didn't quite get my wheel out in front. Hopefully that mistake is nothing a little seat time won't fix! Good luck on getting your car together. Your red Demon was one of my favorites when I was growing up.
