I loved seeing Nate get his *** handed to him tonight. When we raced him in Indy oh so long ago he tried to cheat and ended up in a tie. When he got out of his car at Indy he said "Say it's broken". They said they had a broken rocker arm and did not. Good cheating but dirty nonetheless. Tony settled for a tie. Tonight he got whooped, plane and simple. His crew had their collective head in their *** as well. Funny to watch someone who should know all the standard things to be checked and taken care of lose on account of a battery. Or maybe its just that he has his nose in the air most of the time and got it clipped.

Nick? Chet? I don't remember anybody else coming down to Indy for that episode. It was fun though.

When I say we I say it as a former owner of shop and car. My gas, my car, my truck, my trailer, my foolishness in thinking I worked with someone I could trust. Hell, I didn't even know you went Mike, but now that I think of it I remember you did. I know you guys are kicking some *** nowadays. Good Luck to you and keep up the great work. Jim

Yeah, the car is running pretty good for stock internals, a basically stock tune, and a 8" slick. It has gone 11.42 @ 116.24 with a 1.47 60ft, which makes me the fastest in the Midwest and #9 in the country. (We can't all live down south, below sea level, and race 12 months out of the year ) The car weighs 3100 lbs with me in it, but that is about to change It should be about 2950 by the start of next season and have a good tune. It has been a long & trying year with the car, but Bill & all the guys at Straightline have been a BIG help In 2008 I should be seeing 11.0s.
