If I'm not mistaken, that was a career best for them? They are very capable fabricators and will return with a vengeance and renewed belief after such a run. Pat, Jason and crew, hurry and fix that car so we can root you on to another career best run each event from here on out!
First and foremost, Patio is OK.
Best pass, worst shut down.

Now that is funny...
I gotta say it was an interesting ride. Don Ness builds the best car. Full frontale impact and no fire (the Big Guy upstairs was along for the ride too).
I am OK. Nothing hurts except for my wallet but I guess thats why I work hard. I feel bad for the crew. We had the power, needed to work on the tune up a bit...these guys have worked their butts off for my dream.
We will fix the old car and believe me I will be riding Don Ness like a 20" bike for my new Cobalt. Good thing I am 15 miles from him. I might live there now.
I appreciate all the support. We will be back next year running our own power thanks to Jerry Hemmingson at Jerico. Jerry is the reason why I am doing what I am doing. He has taught me a lot and wish I could spend more time with him in his shop in Concord NC. But as long as there is next day air...I think we can make it work.
I am going to do some serious thinking right now (need to explain this to my Wife...she knows but I don't think she knows I was going 205 on the roof). Any advise on what to tell my Mother? They always worry.
Bad Rat
