I believe he was running those laidCongrats Cruz. Going to be a good season. Always wondered, remember when he was feared because he would pop up with really low et’s at times, although not consistent? Never knew when he’d go low so everyone had to step on it. Any ideas what drove those times? Everyone else just catch up?
The laid back headers were a hidden secret until Del Worsham was walking in the pits and noticed them.I believe he was running those laid
back headers well before Beckman.
Might be wrong but I thought Tim Wilkerson was the 1st on to experiment with those laid back headersI believe he was running those laid
back headers well before Beckman. I remember his struggles to keep it off the wall down track which would explain it.
Could have been. I remember hearing about Cruz experimenting with top fuel headers and different angles in the years prior to the Prock/Beckman car laying down those insane numbers. If I was to guess I bet people were playing with angles going waaaaay back. Too many smart people to have never went down that road.Might be wrong but I thought Tim Wilkerson was the 1st on to experiment with those laid back headers
I was about to say....how 'bout a shoutout for SnapOn, who's stuck with Cruz all this time (and some rough economic times as of late) despite him being pretty much a non-factor other than he's obviously well-known.This won’t be his last win this year. Congrats to Cruz, JC, Snap on and all involved![]()
