Right back atcha Tony! If you guys didnt put on such a kick ass event there wouldnt be anybody to thank! The best THAW to date! The Weather, the Racin, the car show, the people, everything was awesome! Waitin for your food at the snack bar was the only complaint I can think of, but hey, that Dragstrip hotdog and chili cheese fries hit the spot!
Thanks also for the Torques member Casey for his pic for a Trophy. I had to leave a little early and he stopped me and made me follow him to the registration booth and presented me with one of the Torques handmade works of art! I was grinnin all the way home! Thanks again for puttin on one of the must attend events!

WOW what a weekend! First thanks to the Troques for another great event, starting on Friday night and ending with the best Saturday ever! My 55 was OK but it can do a lot better. Best time was a 7.86 @ 89 mph which is a good start for me. Now for Aaron (Hard Luck) all I ever saw was a big shit eating grin from you. That 55 moredoor was unreal all the way down the track. Congrats on your win my friend. This event was the best one yet, and will only get bigger!!!

I was hoping to line up against you just to get a couple jabs in.

I had so much fun it was unreal !

The ugly ol' green 4 door sure is running good now ! We have some more things to do to it to try to get the time down a little more before we throw the fuel injection and alcohol to it !! Those 26x8.5 slicks are going to have to get upgraded pretty soon too ! Ha Ha !!

I can't wait to run this thing again ! I sure do get a kick out of people's reactions to seeing it run after assuming it's a bunch of junk.

Had a great time at the Thaw, thanks for putting it on. I'm looking forward to bringing my '63 Tempest next year, and probably breaking something haha.

Again, great show. I wouldn't change a thing.

Big thanks to The Torques and all involved with the Texas Thaw. Had an awesome time! Getting to race Doc was really cool. It was the first time Ive ever smiled so big after losing a race. And the 28 getting the Big Tony pick was way cool.
Thanks again everyone for putting on such a great event...
