Nmra in bowling green was a blast this year. I met a lot of cool people.
Lee blankenship is now tuning crazy horses.
I have learned more with his help with Bigstuff in one race than I ever have in this past.
I am no longer part of modular depot team.
I am in the process of talking to different companies and I will let you all know who I think is the best

sorry had to stop short on my post.i was at the cracker with the other half
and she got mad at me because i wasn't talking to her.
i have to thank md for all there help for getting car to where it is today.
but to get to the next level it is time for me to move on.

bowling green was the shake down passes for this year.
we wanted to see how hard we could hit it off the line.
the car was getting 130 sixty foots on the back tires
next year should be real interesting

i have decided a few things in the last couple days.

bes racing engines will no longer be working on my motor.
i have decided on who will, but he has one of those funny
last names and i left it at home. i'll post it later.

also all the other work will be done by me and a good friend of mine.
i am not going back to having to wait on someone else.
