Took 5 off in Feb. but now it earned it back.

Actually every one but Michael is talking abot the 392 drag pack motor in NHRA.

Not real sure what the IHRA crate motor had to do with this at all.

The headlines will read" The gopher got me 25 horsepower"

Bob Gullett · 05-06-2011, 10:28 AM

I heard from a reliable source the gopher was hired by a group of Ford and GM racers!

Chuck Norton · 05-06-2011, 10:30 AM

Clearly, at the very least, a "West Coast" gopher.

Andys dad · 05-06-2011, 12:45 PM

I think there must have been two gophers

I heard he ran more than 1.40 under on a run that was DQ'd earlier in the event

Just a rumor I guess

:-) peace

There is that rule which disallows a freak-o-run or something like that

Chuck I did not say a word.

It was a nutria imported from the swamp. The Swamp People caught it. Trust me. For those not blessed with this important knowledge, a nutria is an Argentine Beaver imported to this country in the 30's. About a 20-30 lb rodent. Open season, shootem, cut the tail off and the state pays $5 per. They can eat the marsh. And I know they sightsee in Boise. I need something else to do.

Larry, sorry to preempt what I anticipated to be an eminent comment but it's a slow day and the temptation was overpowering.

Jeff, does the Great State of Louisiana outfit each of those little buggers with a tiny "bow-tie" for their sightseeing excursions out west? If so, that could shed light on a wide range of heretofore unexplained phenomena. Perhaps even things such as UFO sightings that were recently reported around Glendora?

It seems that more than a few of us need something else to do.
