Re: Rapid Lands a Full Time Ride
Thanks Doug, I sure did. I always try to send Tommy and email. That has to be tough being that far away for the racing and normal American life. I sure am proud of him though.
Scott, I bet you get some more great photos. How did the mason jar work out? We can fill it with a big % this time around.
Mike, Thanks hope to see you somewhere this year. But I am watching you,,,no ride stealing from you boy!!
Thanks again everyone,
Rapid

Re: Rapid Lands a Full Time Ride
Randy, We trapped alot of fuel In the jars,but when I opened It up It didn't smell like nitro(bummer) maybe we can try again soon.As far as the pics. go I liked the action shots,but I really like the ones of you talking nitro racing with Del Worsham,I'm glad that you enjoyed them,I'll do my best to get some of you In your new ride.

Re: Rapid Lands a Full Time Ride
Randy, Congratulations on your new ride. I am pretty jealous that you get to drive a fuel altered with that much history. Maybe we'll see you in Eddyville as I am trying to talk Dad into making the trip.

Re: Rapid Lands a Full Time Ride
Scott, we have a lot more Nitro % in Nanook. We can try it again if you want. I really don't know if that will work or not, but it is worth trying.
John,
Thanks for the comment. It would be great to see you at Eddyville. How is your dad doing? He sure is a neat guy to talk to.

Re: Rapid Lands a Full Time Ride
Dad is doing great. He has been back to work for about 2 months now, and we almost have the car ready for testing. I hope I can fill his shoes in the seat as he could drive the wheels off that thing. Good luck this year and have fun in front of the big crowds!
