Kendall,

Great pics, thanks. Was honored to even be matched against an LS-6 with my Olds 350. Not so funny when he cranked out a 13.47 against our qualifying time of 14.216(I ran a 14.22)Knew something was up when I treed him and be ran away in 1st gear. Ran him out the back door just in case he was an old bracket racer, but think he was as surprised (and thrilled) as anyone. Match was over with his big DQ breakout, but decided to go again in a hare and hound with me leaving first for grins, Couldn't get them to handicap the tree for a closer race. Jumped the light, ran another 14.22, but so did he when he went up in smoke. Never got close to me and won by .519, so a little honor restored.
Great time and better every year.
Everybody complaining about Tom Shaw's butt in all the pics. Everybody except the drivers. Thanks Tom, Steve and the others, Heard 6-8 magazines were there. Stands were packed on the pit side and lots more on the spectator side. What a show!
