    So what's happening at Etown? Did Terry get both cars out there? Anybody else in the 10's? Wayne in the 9's yet?

    Funny you should ask:

    Terry is top qualifier so far with a 10.80 in the L88, the Camaro stayed at home

    Wayne and Joel have both cracked the 10's .........so how many cars actually count in the 10's :Do No: :Do No: :Do No: :Do No:

    Dave D was there with the Challenger, but having major fuel flow issues.

    the weather is cold and the track is a little slick......

    Maybe not the quickest............

    May not be Low E.T. holder, or fastest MPH holder, but keep's his cool, run's his own race, and get's the job done!
    The guy is one with his machine, does the burnout the same EVERYTIME, stages the car the same EVERYTIME, doesn't make a driving mistake EVER.
    That's what it takes to be a great racer, move over John Force, we have a new driver of the year. :TU:

    The most impressive car in F.A.S.T., the Duece and a Quarter powered Stage 1 of Greg Gessler :Smarty: Congratulation's Greg :TU:

    Thanks John, It was good to see you and the other Buick faithful at the track!

    About 10 of my family members came to the track and braved the cold temperatures all day and night. It was timely to win this event with them in attendance. A 10 second ET at an offical FAST race will just have to wait till next year. :grin:
