Let's just say, that run was Stout, both passes today were rail straight and the car is flat out hauling the mail...

See what happens when you keep Connie away from the clutch timers?? LOL They've been chasing this car and tune up for years. It's nice to finally see some good results. There's been glimmers here and there, ever since they switched to the Solara; but clearly, thier friendship & input from the other Toyota teams (namely Al Anabi) have finally helped get some of the wrinkles ironed out. You may have read recently that Scott always had trouble controlling the car - and now Jeff says it's responding much better to his "inputs" like it should. I really think they're on to something.... finally.

Would it be cynical of me to suggest that maybe there was a reason why Arron was allowed or sent to go to the Kaltta FC team with some much needed suggestions. Is the dislike for the Force machine by the AJR/DSR sufficient to have played a role in this selfless (or self serving) gesture ? naw, that can't be it, fuel funny car racin is just a fun to do sport, and we all love each other, silly me.

Maybe it was just being a good sportsman and helping out a fellow race team. The DHL F/C has had trouble ever since it came out.
