Re: tony p big boom - 90% nitro downside

Looked just like Scelzi's Boomer in Vegas the only difference was a piece of the front of Tony's car stood and thet directed the fire right to him.

I think Capps had a boomer like that in Texas without the fire.
I was just gald to see Tony back at the track his fire suit was a mess!

I was just pissed I forgot my trash can lid!! The newbies I brought LOVED the day (in no small part due to the Prevost Bar & Lounge!!)- thanks to everyone that gave me access to let these guys get up close, and special thanks to the Nitro Gods for keeping everyone safe with an exciting show... Some of the best finals I've seen in a long time, especially watching at the stripe...

They wanted the 90% becuase it would save them money!
They have to lean on the motor less if they have a higher % of nitro.

Force always preached if you are going to lose, at least do it in spectacular fashion. Looks like Tony learned that lesson in a big way. Glad he is ok. I was sitting at halftrack and I agree with Joe. That was the biggest boom I have ever heard.
