    Intimidated by the tower?:huh: You drive a Comet and a simple building gets to ya..... You are already braver then those wanna bees in belly button rustangs. I'll be in the first room on the right as you walk in the door. Mike English (NHRA), John Madijasik and good ol me will be on the PA all weekend long.

    The door is open to any of you to come up and say HI. Heck you may even be interviewed about track conditions from a racer's point of view and the March meet in general.

    See ya there. You will know me by the red and Black Goodguys shirt and my grey hair... Oh wait that discribes too many of us. I'll be the one acting goofy on the PA.... Actually, it's no act.............. Just ask for me and as long as ya don't look like you're a cop or from the IRS we will let you in.:Welcome:

    Will tell him ya said Hi Don:wave: . He's only doing the Fuel Cars so we will pass on the stairs.

    I've known Mike for over 20 years now. Met him when he was racing bracket 4 at LACR. He would go out first round and then buy into the second chance bracket. He did that so often one year I just called it the "English Bracket". Mike and I have been doing the NHRA Hotrod Reunion together for the past 5 or 6 years and worked the Street drags with him at Pomona way back when.(y)

    It was just a time trial run and he ran an 11 sec pass I think. We will start with his class at 8:AM Saturday with more time trials. Eliminations will be on Sunday as long as it stops raining. Still raining now (10:pM)

    Bad weekend racing, err um crashing. Rocky won first round today, but after that things got bad. T/F ran ok, then we went to AA/Gas and all h-ll broke loose. The Sun was beating on the track and two gassers on two separate runs nailed the wall. No injuries, but at least one car was totally used up. After about 3 hours of clean up and discussions the race was canceled.

    Got to meet Rocky and that was one of the bright spots of the weekend.
