First off I would like to say congrats to Sully and Jason on jobs well done. They were gentleman and gave the folks a race even after the foul issue. Congrats also go to Dick K. (9.005) and Don C. (9.02) for their record runs. Watch carefully as next year proves to be one that will go down in the record books. I remember not to many years ago there were allot of sceptics that stated that what these guys and gal
D ) are doing wasn't possible. This will soon be a milestone that will take something spectacular to surpass.
I would also like to thank Adam C. for the great steaks and pork tenderloin. Anyone who hasn't had one of this guys tenderloins or steaks is truly missing out. Other props go out to the Hartline crew, The Kerneys, The Gallina's, Len Freeman, Jan, James, Scott W., LAZ, Jim Rodgers, J.D., Mr. Littlejohn and all the Ole Miss boys for the booze and entertainment. Ya'll are too d*mn funny, A$$ smakin the car was a riot. Only in the South.
As always Odell was there. That guy is a trip and no one can ever accuse him of not being a harcore TB racer. Big up's to Otto and the rest who thrashed to help get that rear end fixed. Cliff for towing all the way down from IL. to come race. Thanks go out to Louie L. and Dusty B. for bringing their cars out as well. Those cars are beasts without a doubt.
One last shout out is for Brett for taking the time, effort and $$$ to come down and get some great shots. I look forward to seeing them and haven't forgotten your beer brudda.
This is why even though I have sold my Buicks I will NEVER find another home like I have within such a wonderfully diverse yet supportive and entertaining brotherhood of racers. I say brotherhood and mean it because dispite obsticles over the years ya'll always come back together just as family would I imagine. Until next year I will miss each and every one of you nutcases. Start wrenching and getting those parts together.
I many buy me another one next year, now I just gotta find the money. Thats what I get for selling both of mine.
Jim C.
PS-Jack had better have his a$$ there next year. YOU TOO SHANE!!!
Good luck to all those that made the trip and hopefully we see some records broken!
