Yes Tony Williams does still work for Prostar.He is the best at getting the starting line to hook.Everone respects him.
Prostar is under new ownership.New owners took over after a couple races this season.Doing things alittle differently-for the better too I believe.

Welcome to the Mater, Bryan. What did you do with the bike?

I sold the bike and trailer to a guy from Tulsa ,Ok-Gene Langley--works for some big airline repairing /replacing/maintainance of the aluminum skin.He went 6.70 on it.
I believe it has been setting for the last couple seasons.

It does take some getting used to.From the starting line the track looks as wide as a football field--at the finishline it looks as narrow as a railroad rail and you want to stay on top of it.

How ya doing Bryan! Man, it's been awhile since we've seen you at the races. The last time I ran across you was 3 or 4 years go at Prostar Indy, or Memphis, I think. Heck, I could be wrong on both acounts. Short term memory aint as good as it used to be pal!
What are you riding these days for excitement? Sure would be great to see you back at the track in whatever capacity. Keck, scarf up a Honda-matic and we'll match race ya with old Vic Force!

STEVE HALLER>>>> Did you used to buy drag racing memorabilia from me?

Hello Tony,
I am not riding anything but am trying to help a guy from near St.Louis with a FB--it has potential.It has had some really good short numbers(2.87 330) with should equate to a low 6.70 pass. He lacks the experience to go for a full pass yet-he had been creeping up on it though.A couple weeks ago he got it out of shape and on the frame rails and ground all the way through the frame on bottom.Luckily he stayed on it untill it was almost stopped then it high sided and pitched him off.He is sore but no real injuries.
I keep trying to tell him---dont do as I did--do as I say.
anyway good to hear from you and hopefully I will see you in G-ville.I want to go look at the MORGAN BIKE--I applied for the seat on it but got turned down.
Later ,Bryan
