What a perfect 3 days it has been for me. Massive party underway. I am spellbound. I was at Bandimere when Connie won it, when Scott won it, and now, when Doug won it! JEFF AREND - you're next on my list!

Great win for Kalitta Air

 

[Huge]

It was nice to see Connie and the rest of team Kalitta all smiling and having a good time. That's what racing is really about.

 

[Fast Al]

Agree 100%

 

[Rajunz]

Yeah, that was great to see Connie so happy, and the traditional gut punches, great job guys!

a few races ago........can't remember which event.

As far as I know, they've been running AJ heads all season on all three cars. Unless of course its a move from Stave V to Stage VI heads (or Stage VI to Stage VII? Don't know if those even exist). But even then, AJ himself has said there is no much performance gain to be had my switching heads. I wish I could remember the article I read in which he makes that statement.

I am more likely to believe there were changes to the fuel system and/or clutch set up, or they got the tune up right for the rarefied air in Denver, better than everyone else.

But anyway, enough of that. I am happy to see them win!

I thought a few races back Jim O said that he talked to AJ who gave him some words of wisdom. Jim O said that when AJ speaks, you better listen. Ever since then Doug's car has been on a tear. Wonder what AJ told him?

that's probably what i remember hearing

I was trying to remember that conversation as well. I thought he said something about different pistons and a "few other adjustments" after Jim O had texted him a congratulatory message......... maybe

 

[gw 64 savoy]

I do belive pistons were mentioned, but i'm really glad to see the Kalitta team win a race, a couple more would be just fine.

The scoreboard win light must have been working.....
