Wow..love the pic.

Friday was one of those days I will never forget, as during the morning session I ran a personal best, 10.09 @129, and right before loading and heading to the museum I got to race the legendary Ed Hedrick. Was able to get him out of the hole with a .037 to a .051, but he was able to drive around me on the big end, my 10.24 to his 9.87.

To be able to experience this, and hang with Rob, Drew and a bunch of friends just made the day even better. Cannot wait to do it again.

ALL these cars are running great! Top shelf stuff.
Honestly the CARTEL's car impresses me the most. Pretty much set up like the old days when we would run these cars at the track and then drive them to school or work back in the day.
Headers, T-bars, some safety equipment, a little suspension work with some carb and distributor modifications and maybe??? some head and valve spring work.
Slap the header mufflers on and DRIVE it to the track. Monday, drive it to work for the week.
Would see a car like his sitting at Burger King on a Friday nite, running in the 11's on Saturday nite on 9&quot; tires and back to his work place on Monday morning. Golden!!!

Friday was like a trip back in time. 60s &amp; 70s musclecars, everything from purpose built race cars to &quot;day 2&quot; to stock, all trying to make their next pass their best.

Was kind of funny to have a couple of newbies tell that they thought the racing portion of the SCR would just be a few guys making easy passes in their cars, then when the track went hot, like &quot;holy ----&quot;, these guys really do race these cars.

Tom, I know you've been to Beech Bend before but now EVERYONE knows why we love the place. With little or no effort, it's easy to convince yourself you're back in the 60s/70s, ....... and with the cars that the SCR attracts, ...... WOW ! ! ! WHAT AN EVENT ! ! !

Dennis, We all really missed seeing you at the reunion, knowing how much you love the supercars and drag racing. Hope you are on the mend and ready to get back into the swing of things. Hoping to see you and the gang at the WH reunion.

Sammy that was the exact idea when we started setting up the car with the look of Day 2 and that was the focus of what we want to achieve ...now when we finally get that 60 foot time down we definitely will be at the 10's. That's always been my goal to build a 10 second hot rod ....thank God and kudos for Dave McGaffee

Talking with Tom and Jamie we felt really good about this years reunion and we may have a few new improvements for next years event to make it even better

A &quot;true&quot; Day-2 style car. Drive to work, to school, to the burger joint and then to the track. And then drop your girlfriend off on the way home from the track.
Geeze am I old!
