Congrats to Andy for having the most consistent drag radial car at the event. You definitely deserved the win my friend. It was great seeing everyone as always and I know the Ohio Boys will be running some steller numbers come the next event once they get a little more test runs in.

PSJ, Had great time BSin with ya all weekend! =P

Meeks, like always, impressive performance for your first outing. Car looks GREAT!

Fuel(Mike), It was nice to finally meet you in person and was a pleasure racing against you. Look forward to seeing everyone at the next event!!

Friday we went 7.42, 7.45, and 7.55.

Saturday track temps were a little better in the mid day with some cloud cover that allowed us the 7.23 run

Sunday track temps stayed warm and we just couldnt get down. (sucks but thats racing)

I will second the applause!

Sounds like it was a power management test for all involved considering the lack of prep needed for radial cars to run the way they need. Sooner or later the promoters of this series will figure it out...

Looks to be a great season ahead!

I second everything Steven said to a "T"...very well said Wormie.

Andy...like we told you all weekend...consistency wins races more often than anything else, so maybe now you believe us :)....you earned it, so enjoy your day in the sun.

I will add that's it's the most fun I have had racing in the past 4 years...the brotherhood in our class is second to none... sure we all want to win but in the end, I trully believe we all want to see each other safe and sound and have a good time. The sportsman ship is put first and that's how it should be...we are not making a living doing this so hobbies are supposed to be fun!

I'm already looking forward to the next race.....with two cars :usa:

THANKS everyone!!!

I couldn't agree with you more. Ton's of fun in the pits!!! I love how we can race our butt off on the track then laugh and have beers together at dinner. Great times guys.

Thanks again for getting me into the game! Can't wait until the next one.

Great job guys!

Congrats also to the LMR and Ohio Boys; the hype was up and plenty of people talking about how close the racing could be based on performances from all of you!

Hope to see everyone at another LSX event soon!

I hated to miss the Bradenton race, but with the new building in the works, Kristi's car accident, and Mike and Brian's cars in the shop still it just wasn't in the cards. We will be at the Atlanta race for sure and more before that to help all you guys out.
