Erik,

After talking to the paris team yesterday, the car is totaled. The sad part is, it had 2 runs left before being put into a museum. Dom is fine, just upset it happened.

Pro,
I elected not to race saturday and just watch.......Thursday .setup night we all went and staked our claim and then drank too much.so friday iw as a little puny and went out in round 1.......the heat nearly killed me........so since we live only 20 miles away we went home and I slept in saturday and we got out there about 1.30..... we went to the stands about 4:30 and thats where i was most of the night and i did drink but i paced myself all my buddies........didn't...........Sunday I went three rounds and they all lost first round.........I didn't come close to winning but I had fun Summer did awesome and the car ran respectable...........the best part of the weekend was yesterday after first round..... an older guy pulled in my pit in a ford ranger he had a hoverround wheelchair on the back....he must have had MS or something like that as he didn't talk very well.....he politly asked if it was my car i say "yes it sure is".he then said whats the motor?" I say a 572 RAT!! he said DAMNED!!...... leaned out the window and said " i saw the last run.....boy it sure goes good!!..but i cannot see the score borads how fast was it?/.I say " i went 7.93 thsi morning and that was a 7.97.but it has gone as fast as 7.73 ith w lenco in it".......he shook his head and said " DAMNED thats AWESOME!!".......made me smile........he wished me luck and i stopped traffic so he could back out.......i saw him a couple more times.every time he had a big grin and he'd give me the thumbs up........that made my race day PERFECT!! :D .........on friday i had an older gentleman who had had one too many walk over to the car in the lanes as i got in he shook my hand and said "i had one of these but that M.F. did run like this!!........then he happily stumbled off!!. 8) ERIK
