you know someone had to have a welder there . and another lesson we all learn just get the race headers first 
JL+Gary@MIR?
OMG what a LONG day, it was a good time, JL your situation was a unique one, as we all thought you were out after not making that pass, shame on us for not going to the tower to confirm that. But with Nate changing the format last minute to decide to run that group of 10 cars for the last 2 spots had NEVER been done before so who was to know...
NOW GO BUY A CELL PHONE cus when we heard about you getting picked we could have had you turnaround and you would have been back intime to make a run cus they dragged out the last parts of the show for several hours and it seemed like eternity

I know.. hell back when I bought the qtp's that are on my car there was hardly anyone around with an ls1 car that had anything more then a lid and catback... it was a LONG time ago. They've been good to me, up to this point. Had I known when I bought them where I would be now, I would have gone 1 7/8 and race style.
I was so sun burnt and tired, and my wife was dying too so bad that it wasn't that hard to call it a day when I saw a 1/4 inch hole in the primary..... had I thought about it I would have had the track announcer ask the crown if anyone had a tig welder.... but hindsight is always 20-20
Won't happen again, I'll perservere thru should something like this ever happen again.
Hopefully my first qualifying pass on sunday makes tv.

I'm sorry to hear about your headers giving you problems. It's always something. Congrats on getting picked. Must of been a rush to participate and get picked at a broadcasted event like that.
That sucks JL, that must of happend when me and you were about to race. When I was like half track I looked over and I was like I'm beating him then once I realized that you were no where near me I ralized you didn't race. I didnt know that our times were so close, that would have made for one hell of a race.
