I saw something this weekend that I haven't seen in a long time in drag racing. I saw an entire class pull together and help out not one, but two racers. Mike from Jessel, and Chris both had problems that required a tremendous amout of work to make Sunday. Chris made it but unfortunately Mike did not. From what I understand, most Drag Radial racers were up the entire night helping both these guys out. It was this selfless attitude, and sportsmanship that makes this class a MUST have for the complete schedule for next season. I have never watched the drag radial cars go down the track until this weekend. I assumed that if it wasn't a fully scheduled class, it may not be worth watching. BOY was I wrong. These guys not only enjoy playing in the same sandbox, but they have built some incredible cars that just defy logic. They not only have to be engine tuners, but suspension tuners, and most of all drivers. What a class. Hats off to you guys and hope to see MUCH more of you in the future.

Congrats to Dwayne on the 8.70 passes. Maybe if you give up some of your secrets, we could get our Renegade car to hook the same.... :)

Sportmanship is something that I always stress to the team. Personally I don't think that rivalry have to mean personal conflicts or hatred involved. I teach being very competitive, but with in the limits of the game. Thanks for taking notice the Drag Radial Class needs that...
