What happened to Gene? I read he rolled through the lights in the first qualifying sessions, did he not make anymore attempts?

NHRA probably told him to load it, and leave it.

He was pitted one trailer from us, was clearly not ready to be at a race yet. Durring his warm-up there were 2 foot flames from the pipes and running verry erratic, SCARRY!!

He was in Phoenix for Testing, everybody I talked to said he went to the Arley Langlo Safety safari school.

I have seen them at the warm up's the last 2 years and had never seen him atempet a run. I figured they were in trouble when it took 5 crew members and 20 minuets to pack each parachute. They even had the bags closed wrong. I have done it a few times and its not all that hard to do with 2 people. All this happened while the driver was standing about 5 feet away. When they started I was over by the t-shirt trailers and heard it and knew who it was. It sounded like it was running on 4 cylinders. I think it was a smart move on either their or NHRA's part to have them stay parked.

saw him run at test and tune one year ...... everybody ran
