Another great day for the Summit team. They are such an awesome team! I am not just a fan, I raced to 57 years off and on. I had won 77 class win trophies by the time I was 21 in 1964. Not bragging but I won one with my AA/FD the rest in stock, Super Stock, Modified Production and Gassers. They I was a crew guy for David Baca and gained a inside and out knowledge of what it takes to make those cars run. I took a lot of years off running my businesses and raising a family. I really like the Summit guys because like the greats of the past: Bob Glidden, Warren Johnson, Frankie Iaconio and a few others are the real "heros" of the sport. They develop their own engines and the set ups of the cars and know every single aspect of the cars. I love to see them beat Erica Enders although she is one of the best pure drivers in the histories class, she is just a driver. A great one. But she is not in the same league as the Gray's and the Elite guys and Greg and Jason. Can't leave out Chris Magaha who is another really smart guy. I am really also happy for Bo Butner. He compliments the team with his knowledge of tuning the fuel injection. And how about Jamie Lynn Shipp? She is a great driver and she is with him at his door every time he makes a run. I think she is super. Just some of my thoughts about the racers in Pro Stock. I would sure like to see Ford and Dodge step up with more funding so the class would survive. But with a cut back to 18 races, it could be in jeopardy like Competition Eliminator. I think the so called "Super Classes" have destroyed spectator appeal. I almost would rather see them replaced with Pro and Super Pro bracket cars. At least they race off the line and just play at the finish line. But is will never happen because of the money these damn electronics companies put into the sport.
