    I ran 10.94 like the picture shows so I should still be in first place. The awards thing will start in a few hours.

    What you and your son did is what legends are made of. I hope you know that. To drive a car from Arizona to the midwest and then compete and then win is a story in itself. If you make it home without a major hiccup is where the legend meme come in. You will be talked about and referenced for ever.

    I think you just raised the bar a bit for the next Hot Rod Week.

    Again thank you for putting this up so we can all follow along.

    I tried backing up to 2:32, have watched for hours yesterday and today, and I have yet to see a single pass of Jims? can anyone give me a time where he makes a pass? I mean, its cool stuff and all, but I cant watch more than a couple hours a day, I just don't that kind of time.

    Just think 20 some odd years from now when you are really old and grey, and you and your son and his wife and kids are sitting around after Christmas dinner, and he says "You know what your grandpa and I did once?":):cool:
