Looking at the numbers, that car can compete with anyone. I've been impressed with the first two races. If Jaz can get a bit quicker on the tree, she will be in the mix.

I'm not sure if that's the same car her Dad was driving but if it is, it's been 3.64@338mph and 300 to the 660 so it's ready once Dad feels confident enough to allow the CC to turn up the wick. Becoming Langdon-quick at the tree can take years. If she sticks with it she'll get there and then she'll win races.

On a related note, whose jaw dropped when they fired the tree for the Pro Stock final? Damndest thing I've ever seen, as crazy in a not so good way as the incredible double-.000 lights at the 2014 Winternationals Pro Stock semifinal where Enders won her first championship.

Rob Flynn

Well that explains a lot. Rob has never been afraid to turn up the wick.

Jasmine was .115 and .113 in her last two rounds. Gotta step it up

 

[Jack]

She's doing a good job handling the car and I'm betting that her lights will improve as she makes more passes. She's still pretty new to the big show cars. Anyone hear about her dad's plans for this year?

 

[Butch]

He's probably busy scraping up $100. Dollar bills, I mean fire debris. All this summer.

I was surprised during 2 of the qualifying rounds it was mentioned Scrappers was looking for sponsors. Mike has mentioned numerous times that he wants total control of their racing operations and didn’t want to be beholding to anyone except himself.

Jaz has a typo, though. Martin Mi is US131 that should be under NHRA?

I think the Martin IHRA needs to be changed to Milan Mi?

They do have a deal. Pay your entry fee, blow up a differential in qualifying, another in 1st round. Then go home and count up how much money you lost!

No seriously, they really do in this 75th year, all kinds of qualifying and round win bonuses in TF and FC. Not sure about Pro Stock.
Next year probably not?!!

TF and FC don’t pay entry fees.

And the all kinds might add up to $500.
