Congrats Coach, nice meeting you as well! Glad our tire rotation crew at Pepboys/Joe Os trailer was on duty, because car looked mean leaving and ran mean too 4.56s or 4.71s? The car is still around 3400 lbs yes? It would be sick at 3000-3100

Yes Sammy did beat Joe on that run but Joe's car was hurt. If his car would have been 100% he would have taken Sammy out without a problem. Not taking anything away from Sammy, his car is fast, but Joe's car was hurt.
It was good ole run for fun race with no hard feelings. You all seemed like a good bunch of guys. I enjoyed my weekend down there and meeting everyone, and look forward to coming back next year.

not sure how the Lt1 thing came up in coaches thread...Sorry Coach!!!
but I guess I'll just throw my Lt1 in a rail since chassis dont mean anything..
pretty sad a 10.5 tire on stock suspension out 60 ft'd a backed half 4 link car..not to mention the run in question I out mphr'ed him side by side with a 3 year old smaller motor with a rear that was hurt.. Sorry if my lil sticker on the back window bothered you guys..None the less oh well get a 4th gen. and come take the title...besides 9.35 has been beaten "just not in competition" actually 9.30 has been beaten for that matter..
