Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Racing in Tx sucked . My Ol'Lady was gonna flash my buddy that I had to run second round (she really wouldnt do that) to throw him off , instead my Crew Chief / Bestfriend a 240lb boy flashed him . The poor guy was .071 on the tree against my .008 and my fuel press. regulator gave up and I lost the round .

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well 2006 wasnt a good year either . I ran 5 races and ended up around 24th place (partley for personal reasons that I didn't get to race). Alot of the problem was the truck just did'nt work in the heat . If you havnt ever tried to race like this you wont understand but its like racing at a different track every time you stage .

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
After the 06 season I decided I needed to do something . I ordered a new Brodix aluminium block . I took the crank out of the 638 and got some new rods and pistons and built an all aluminium 632 . Also that year I sold my old trailer and bought my old friend Randy Ramo's 48 ft trailer . Guess what ? the first race with that trailer came my first NHRA divisional win ! That was September of 07 , almost 8 years after I started doing this Divisional stuff . I finally got me a Wally .......

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well we drug the old truck 930 miles to Joliet (Chicago) . I ran the Allstar race and gave it up by .006 in the first round to Jeff Landoulm from Div 5 , that was the only points D5 got that year ......At my expense...ugghh. But the weekend turned out pretty damn good ....
![]() ![]() I left Chicago with a Big Wally .....You know like the ones that they give ole John Force . I got on a stage and gave a little speech and the whole nine yards . It was absolutly the greatest moment of my racing life , if not my life ! I had the woman I loved , my duaghter , and my best friend (you know the flasher) with me . I wouldnt traded the moment for the 4 houses I could have bought with the money I have sank in the truck in the last 31 years !

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
On to 2009 .... I had no idea of the exposure I had coming . Our board buddy MarvD got his 2009 NHRA Rulebook before I did and sprung it that I made the Super Street page . I felt really honored and it was also the last printed version of the rulebook .

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
In 09 it seemed like nothing could go right . i started out the season breaking a lifter and not even making first round . A good friend insisted I fix it and offered to help with the money part . Well I patched it up and was back to racing by the next race . I didnt do much to speek of in 09 but I did make one final . I lost on a breakout though ......

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
The 2010 season is going pretty good . As yall know I built the 665 and the truck is running good this year . I have had some tough losses at a couple races but I almost made the finals in Houston 2 years in a row . I lost 5th round (semi finals) . I went to third round in Tulsa and left there in 3rd place in division points and tied for 1st in Jegs points . The next race will be either Bowling Green, Kentucky or Topeka Kansas at the end of August . Im trying to figure out how to maybe get one more out of division race but time and money make it tough . Theres an outside chance we may go to Reynolds or Atlanta Ga but with races close together and all the miles to and from it makes it tough .

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I probably would be leaning toward Reynolds . I have been there once and loved the place and the poeple . Ed and Dorothy , Lamar , and Tim . The Atlanta race is in early September and I'm tired of racing in the heat already. The Reynolds race is in October (when I would rather race) Maybe you could bum a ride with ol Brian Funderburk .
