As soon as they got back ,they had to pull the drive train out of it, hone and re-ring the engine, re-work the transmission, transplant it all into a totally new car, re-do the headers, rebuild the brake system (twice), and then rent the Tucson track, (there's no place to test in the Valley in August).
Then as Dan said, drag it half way across the country and finish testing at Noble ,OK.
This is not check book racing, folks. These two are the real deal, and I'm glad to call them my friends.

Mark, I sooo couldn't agree with you more about Mike and BJ Graham, amongst all of the Stock/Super Stock racers I'm thankful to have met/known over the last 21yrs I've been trying to be a player in this class racing game, Mike and BJ are certainly amongst the people I'm most thankful to know of and have as friends too! Wow on all they had to go through to get ready to go out there, and as Dan man said drag it halfway across the country (I won't go there unless or until my budget improves, and I'm able to make my car run .35 quicker than it does now at sea level), not to overlook the extra miles racers like Mike and Scott Loge and Brian Seaburg traveled....anything over 900 miles is a long tow, and for Mike and BJ, plus Mike, Scott, and Brian (et. al.), to have traveled no less than 1700 to possibly 2400+ for Brian, WOW THAT'S A HAUL....but there's no other drag race like the US NATIONALS!!!!!

See ya in two weeks Mike and BJ up at RMR in SLC!!!!
