Heck I even had parts on a car in the real street class.

Congrats to all my friends out there that did well! Paul, Ted, Brian Black and Mr. Hopkins, Im glad yall all had a good weekend. I just wish Meeks would have turned it down some and went some rounds instead of just hunting for a number.

Anyone who wasn't there.... I was under the impression this race was created for all of the faster heads up 1/8 mile only racers that compete in X275 or who don't fit in any other class. Just a little disappointed in the showing, not really calling out anyone in particular.

I would just like to series grow and thought the promoters hit all the details to make it happen.

I think all those involved did a great job with the race and I'm sure participation will grow. There is a reason that the yellow bullet race and ducks races are so big and its the big purse. I know a lot of people will go to races like the ls fest to get some publicity and be in the magazines and such and that's great but its not my thing. I know I have not participated in any of the ls races and I'm not taking anything away from anyone who has but 99% of the races I go to I am the only ls car there and I am usually able to run up front and in my opinion that says more for the ls platform than an ls only race. I would like to see more ls cars show up at sgmp next month. In the february race I was the only one in x275, Meeks was only one in no-boost and Dwayne was the only one in outlaw 275 and you would think there would be more ls cars to make a showing at the biggest radial race of the year. The ls fest is still in its early stages and I would like to think that it will continue to get bigger each year but only time will tell.

I would have liked to have got the chance to run Chad during eliminations but it just didn't work out. It would have been nice to have a chance to get that bounty money but thats not why I was really there. I wish the track would have been better so I could have tried to put some power down and run a number but it just wasn't like I wanted it to be. I came to test to try and fix my electrical problem so at least thats straight. Its a great bunch of folks that run x275 down there with the HED, HRE and Mac Fab crew and we always have a great time with those folks. Yes we are planning on being at Civil Wars. I got to try and keep my title!

I hope we have SYF again next year and a few of the other class-legal cars can come race though I understand that September has a lot of racing going. I know even for me it's quite a thrill to see these cars that we jaw about all year racing each other.

Plus for those who have never been, we have the track to ourselves for three days. It's so awesome!
