Hey guys...... new best at Thunder! It was nice meeting some of you! Met Harlen, Tanner, Eric P., to name a few! I must say.....their were some fast cars out there!! Ended up getting 2nd place in MS/PA. A few cars were faster than I was in that class but the order of the brackets helped me on that one! Also....C.J. crossing the center line! LOL It was great to race with guys like you all! Each of you had class and were respectable and nice to everyone! Looking foward to next year!

Bad *** Tony, you done damn good in MSPA. YOu raced some high $$$$ cars, but showed them you can still play with an LT1. Congrats on breaking 9s man, you had it comming for a long time and you know what, that car is only going to get a lot faster.
