Thanks Everyone

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me in my return to stock eliminator. I said I would NEVER do this again but my daddy always said NEVER IS A LONG TIME.

I could'nt stand it and had to try again.

I would like to thank the following:
Greg Fulk for selling me his car.
Kenny Koonce and crew for the Long hours it took to get me to the track and the awesome paint job.
Jimmy Hickman at Hickman's Performance for their first crate motor.
Marco Abruzzi for a fantastic Transmission.
Moser,Tim Irwin, and Danny Waters Jr for the rear end.
Billy Plage for his help with our traditional stocker motor that we will be testing in the off season and his help with parts and advise.
Bruce Parsons for the cylinder heads.
Michael Beard for the awesome graphics.
Tim Sloan for the best Holley Carb I've ever owned.
All the contingency sponsors whose products I bought.

ART LaSelle my crewchief whose tireless efforts can never be repaid.

To my wife Lara for allowing me to do this one more last time again.

I'm sure I forgot someone if so I'm sorry.
Thanks
Chip Johnson

just could not stand it anymore huh?

Michael Beard · 09-06-2007, 03:24 PM

I gave him two years before he'd get back in. ;-) LOL

When I got back to Darlington after my excursion to Pageland, I saw Chip driving to the staging lanes in his Nova, dialed 7.09... gave me chills. The last time Chip raced at Darlington, he won the Bracket Finals, in a Nova, dialed 7.09.

Did you get tired of being a trained monkey Chip? Ha ha - welcome back! '

By the way, I never thanked you for your words of encouragement at Rockingham, they came at a really needed time.
