NM Ed, I found it at 7:31:10 out 3rd rnd after a slight gift in rnd 2. Still good .0 teen lights in both. Love National Trails Raceway. And The FLINGS is the place to be.
Good to hear Alan announcing though eally gonna miss that golden voice at the NHRA.

Nothing diabolic, nor bad planning, or bad strategy. The Firebird had a mechanical issue that morning, my son stayed at our pit to assist so the car could make the call. We knew once we got to the lanes that it was possible we'd run each other, didn't matter, if so one of us would be buying back in. Last edited by 1320racer; 01-22-2025 at 06:56 AM. |

Very sad to hear this.
It just wont be the same without his knowledge, wit, humor, and without waking up to Come On Eileen, Wild Wild West, Cover of the Rolling Stone, Hot Rod Lincoln et al…. Kp |

Talked to him a few times, once when he was admiring Jared Jordan?s 64 Dodge at Woodburn (his love for classic muscle is off the charts) and most recently when he gave me a ?bag of donuts? for a perfect light at the Baby Gators class. He really appreciates the sportsman racers and was a great ambassador for NHRA. Hope he prospers going forward.

I hope he writes a book!
Steve , Dave , Bob, Brian, Joe and more. I hope we get to capture the Motorsports knowledge in writings. When Jim McCombe passed, we lost the vast knowledge of the Wests racers. We had many partys where he was the Mcee. What a blast! No I didn’t forget about Unk! Miss ya Bob! Last edited by Barry Polley; 01-22-2025 at 08:25 PM. Reason: Additionally |
