Holy shit Florida is a long haul, we got back yesturday at noon, Yeah I know, that's early. Kyle and Troy red lit in the first round. Both had severe traction problems. We think we have Troy's figured out, Kyle will need a new valve job on the shocks and a ladder bar adjustment. Running 9.00 at 165mph doesn't add up does it, LMFAO. They both will be running low 8's for sure this year.
Donnie came in 2nd with the world fastest NPS Gremblin, he also most won, it was a close one. We were able to pull 3 tenths out of his car over the 3 days we worked on it. His best time was 7.779 with a 1.14 60 ft time. His best run ever in the car. A 4.990 in the 1/8 also!!! Oh and the best thing is it's all naturally aspirated, no nitrous for him.
Butch Kemp won ProStock, his best was in the 8.70 range, hats off tho those guys, they worked their butts off for it!!
I'm tired and I'm sun burnt...... Bad, LOL.
Great to meet you Susie!! Also it was nice to see Rita again, sorry we didn't get to visit more, we were very busy. I got to meet a bunch of
other people from GoFastZone.com also, which was nice. You know Jeff
Prock is an amazing person, we never stops amazing me with his knowledge of drag racing, not only nitrous tuneups, but chassis stuff as well. His comments on a couple things were 110% right on the money, I'm glad to be a very good friend of his and have him in my corner when I get started racing very soon!!
Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound Brian... It was good seeing you again also... I think the last time I had seen you was right after christmas when you and carol called and came to the house and we went out to the bar and played pool... Wow... the memories huh?
But we are in for making a bunch of new memories for sure. Hope to see Carol at one of these races... Tell her I said hi...

So we got everything packed up and ready to go. Stopped and took showers and went to eat. It was about 10 and the boys got on the road and we went to the hotel. So Monday morning we get up and get on our way. We get to the beach and I think it was one of the most distrubing phone calls I have answered. It was Billy (my step dad / crew cheif) he asked for my mom. I could tell something was wrong. I watched my mom as she was talking to him and the first thing that she said "is everyone okay" at that point I knew what happened. They got into and accident. They were in tennesse somewhere and they were following a semi. There was a car that thought that she needed to be in between the semi and the trailer. When the semi slammed on his brakes so did the car and the trailer. Thank GOD that Billy was thinking and did not plow right into the car. I guess he tried to get around the car but did not have enough room and still ran into the car and the semi. They said that the car looked like and accodian and the driver had to climb out of the passengers side. She walked away with a scratch. I am grateful that Bill did not just slam into her cause the outcome may have been different. So the toter is bad. The motor is in the drivers compartment and there is some damage to the trailer. Thankfully the boys do a good job of strapping every thing down in the trailer and nothing was damaged. A caravan of trailers went there to pick up the cars and all the equipment. The insurance company had already said that they are going to total both the units. Oh yeah the boys are OK they are bumped up a little bit but no one was injured.
