Thumbs up Congrats

Was just wanting to say congrats to a local racer from here in Orlando. Some of local drag racers from around central florida know him. His name is Mike Ruff and he drives super gas class in NHRA. He finished #2 in points for the nation last year in NHRA. Well he managed to win the US Nationals last weekend in Indy. All 3 runs he made on Monday were hole shot wins; what a great driving on his part. Again just wanted to give him his do for a great job.

Quite a feat! Big Congrats Mike!...
What a race, especially the Hemi Shootout of all those classic '68-'69 SS/A & SS/AA Hemi Dart's & Cuda's, (and I'm a diehard bowtie fan!)
I've been there at the US Nats crewing for my buddy Casey who run's F/S in his real 302 '69 Z/28 4 speed Stock Eliminator Camaro! ( two time NHRA World Record Holder)

Mike Ruff is due this recognition as that is quite a win.....quite a race..... helluva' exciting week too!
