Default The Hot Rod Wins this weekend!

Well, after my racing at Sealy on Saturday night, I got back to Killeen at 1:30 in the morning.(I did get a new PR a 7.15 in the 1/8 mile and I did see some sky on all my launches). Got some sleep and headed out to TAD for some Sunday racing. To make a long story short. I WON. I ran a 7.20 with a 1 on a 7.20 dial in with a 5.23 r/t in the final round. It was really sweet. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I want to thank Thunder Racing and Madman Racing. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Brian, it must have been the stickers. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> (they are on the trailer and the Hot Rod). <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Wow, what a weekend. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />
I need some sleep, but Hell, I can sleep when I die! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I changed the tires and the oil, she is ready to take me to work in the morning. I do drive the Hot Rod to work everyday for the time being <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

You Boys and Girls better be going to the track. Iam on a roll, I will be ready for Nov. 2 Will You? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Later,
Coach

Congrats on the win Coach! 7.15 1/8mile in the heat is moving. How were your 60' this weekend?

My tranny will be back in the car this week and the heads will go on shortly after. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Coach I think you need to coach some of us on how to drive our cars because you have it down to an art form.

Jason,
Thanks! It's about time you get her back together. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
I can't wait to see the numbers on your Hot Rod with the new heads. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Our we going to race in the same class at the Thunder Shootout? <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
Remember our deal about racing each other? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Alonzo,
Thanks man!
Seat time is the key. You have to race to get good at it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
