The driver didnt need the diaper. It was the motor that needed it.

Congrats Joe, that's saying something qualifying where you did with less than 100% against boys with a lot more $$$ in their combos. congrats, and find the 20s quick!

Hey Joe,

It was nice meeting you at VMP and having some time to chat. You definately have a killer combination there.

As you could probably tell, we had some tuning issues as well. Was chasing my tail with a miss from half track on which I mistakenly thought was a lean miss (new carb, still dialing in). After installing a fresh set of plugs the miss went away, but was then lost on the tuneup. Did my best to recover, but sadly was unable to break into the 9's down there and take home the $100 bonus money from Mike at FAST.

We did however make it to the final round to lose against Ron again. Thanks so much for running 10.5 instead of D/R

With that being the last RAM event for 2005, we locked up the D/R points championship...two wins early on in the season and two runner ups on the second half of the season.

Again, good meeting you and I think many were impressed with your ride.

I gotta figure out what winter upgrades I can afford, then come spring get the car back on Boozes dyno and try and refine the tuneup more.

Nice meeting you also Todd.. I thought for sure you was gonna get that $100 sure was close thats for sure...Hope things work in your favor this winter .. I'll surely make some if not all the races 06'.. still debating on what class though.. If I thought I could have made it through on the shorter tire the other day, I surely would have been out there just to see Ron squirm a lil.. Congrats on the points win..may have been 2nd saturday but you are still the champion

Todd , I believe it was 3020 -3040 ,they just gave me the thumbs up as I crossed so I didnt question...my raceweight has been roughly 3024 most events this year when I've scaled, figure 5-8lbs a piece for the bullet muffs on top of that.. 3040 range is my guess..
