Saturday in San Antonio
One light, two light, three light, red light. That's how it goes when your pushing it to the limit. Jim Broome has a new name for me, "Quikdraw". Consolation round paired us up with John Hale and what an ugly round. Left the line and John pulled ahead and then he smoked the tires but our car was laboring horribly. At about seven hundred feet, I shifted and the car was still horrilbe. At the top end I saw the win light but it was ugly. Back in the pits, we noticed through all the excitement of a fogged windshield that the throttle stop was left on. Oh well, that's racing.
Down and out until Boise, May 3-6th.

Friday finals in San Antonio
First round tonight saw us up against Dale Pulde in his War Eagle car. We ran a slow 6.05 but took the win. That put us in third spot, not quite enough to make the final round. Our consolation round had us run a single which saw a 5.92.
Try again tomorrow.
Congratulations John Hale on your win tonight!

San Antonio, Texas.
We are here in San Antone!
If you never been here, the San Antonio Riverwalk has to be truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Ron, Bob and I dined there both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Amazing!
Tonight is night one of the IHRA Nitro Jam. There are eight cars here to see who can be the winner of the Chicago style shootout. We are on at 8:00 and 9:30pm Central time if all goes according to plan.
Talk at you later in the evening.

Saturday in Tucson.
Well at least we won Friday. In our first round, we were up against our Eastern favorite, Peter Gallen. About a 1000 feet, the car fell on it's nose and Peter drove around us. In the final, Mike Savage in Jim Broome's Candie's and Hughes pulled on Peter for the win. Congrats Mike Savage and team.

Tucson, Arizona.
Hello everyone.
We are at Southwestern International Raceway just east of Tucson, Arizona, for the Arizona Nitro Jam.
Last night, we went out for our first round against James Day driving the War Eagle of Dale Pulde's. I don't know where it came from, but we got him on a hole shot. James ran a 6.0 flat to our 6.02.
For the final round, we ran Mike Savage in Jim Broome's Candie's and Hughes car. Mike went up in smoke and we ran a 5.82, 247 mph at 4500 feet. Great run and building up a battered team. Great job guys.
I know what we have done, what we can do and what we will do!

2012
Hi All.
It's been a long off season for us and we are now getting back in the groove. We ran here in Phoenix at the National event.
We were supposed to run more or less exhibition passes with four cars, but one competitor pulled out and that left us, Bucky's car with Ryan Davenport driving it, and Jason Rupert.
On Friday, we qualified number one with a 5.74. Saturday we spun the tires and had no time.
Sunday with only three cars, we took the two low qualifiers, which wasn't us, and they ran a final with Ryan in Bucky's car taking the win.
We went out to try and get our car hooked, and did with a 5.80.
All done in Phoenix.
