The Chris Demke car is looking so strong. That guy is a championship waiting to happen.
Bummer when Alexis got timed out. Another strong contender.

I agree Paul! But lets not forget Shawn Cowie... 5.243 quickest pass in blown alcohol history and ran consistent 20s!! Both cars are 'BAD' ass ;)

I hope we have killer air and track in Gainesville, because I think Manzo will show why he is THE MAN and get both ends of the record back to where they belong.

If the weather stays the way it has been it will be hot!!!!!!:(

well....where exactly does the record 'belong' Paul?

And as much as I respect "The MAN-zo" I also know that Parity is a good thing for the class and for drag racing as a whole. And Uncle Frankie would agree with me.

And i'll go out on a limb and say if the air and track in G-Ville are exceptional, Uncle Frankie won't be the only one shooting for a record. Let's not forget about that Mickey Ferro cat.... or John Bojec (who was VERY competitive towards the end of the season last year).

You also can't count out Cassie Simonton in Spiro Kontos' car. They'll be testing at SGMP early next week with Randy Anderson turning the wrenches. And I know they have a long way to go, but if memory serves me correct, when Bob Tasca was putting up those 5.40's his tuner was.......... Oh yeah... RANDY ANDERSON...:cool:

Thanks for the info, I was in Pomona Thurs and Friday, went home due to the rain. I came home to NO internet. Congrats to Shields, tough field!
