The Best was being there with "MY SON" and to see him Race down the track and had a 509 light with the SS Truck.

Ref the above quote. Mark your son cut a 5.09 light, that had to be the best light of the day. For a 23 year old NHRA Sports Compact driver, driving a SS Silverado, that's awesome!!! Know of anyone cutting a better light?

When he raced the NOVA and at the end of the truck when we saw the Cloud of smoke I almost had a "heart attack", nothing turned out to be wrong so it maybe was just carbon??

Did any of you guys see this run, when Hassett ran the Orange Nova. You got to hand it to Mark and his son, they really no how to do it. I mean, how many guys do you know that take a "6 figure", "body-off" "Super Car" and run the snot out of it. Here Mark is with a full, frame off "trailor queen", and he's out there banging through the gears. TOTALLY AWESOME!!! That could be one of the highlights of the event. None of the prior owners would dream of doing that, but that's Marks style. ***(Remember last year when he was bang shifting the L/88 Motion???)*** Even though there was some smoke puffing out, the car certainaly needed it. That run was a great photo opportunity as well. MARK, KEEP ON DRIVING THEM LIKE YOU STOLE THEM- THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE MADE TO DO!!! Who cares if it was a 15 second run, the other Nova's were in the mid 14's, certainaly not bad for the first time!!!!! By the way the Hurst Mags looked "BAD A$$" going down the track.

Mr Hassett, you are definatly one of the "nova guys". Nice pass. A big thanks from the Iowa deuce group. A good time was had by all. Put us down for next year. And Rick, Belair is a lot taller than you said. Schonye

Next year I'm bringing a pair of scissors and a cereal bowl !!!

Appropriate credit to Mark and his Son, I was surprised to see the new addition pulling up to the starting line! However, did you happen to notice all of the other high dollar Supercars making runs? These cars were made to do this, if they break, SCW will fix 'em

Hats off to everyone who drove their cars down the track, even if they didn't initially plan on it. It's easy to get the bug once you are standing there watching everyone else do it It doesn't matter about your reaction time, 60', ET, or MPH. All that matters is that you have big sh1t eatin grin on your face when you pick up your timeslip.

If you want to go a little faster, there is always a friend in the pits who will show you how to pick up a tenth or two - my thanks to COPO Pete, Casey Marks, and Terry Pennington who gave me a few pointers.

[Belair62]

A quick detail and it's like new again...

[mhassett]

My son is ALREADY talking about Next year and bringing the MOTION and of course "Dad we got to Race it" not my idea, he is Hooked!! My Hats off to All the Great Supercars going down the track, these guys truly enjoy it!!

Well said, I agree. How about a "Day 2" look for your car? Lets "gitt-er" down in the mid to high 13's for next year. Headers, Cragers etc. That would rock! Sweet ride Marlin and way to run it!!!
