Nice blog today (12/9/10)

Who else (in your opinion) is a racer (Up and Coming or otherwise)?

As TJ mentioned, I have a huge amount of respect for Tim Wilkerson, that guy does everything except sell popcorn on race weekends.

Greg Stanfield is a racer.

Doug Kalitta is a racer, USAC Sprint Car Champion and one of the winningest Top Fuel racers of all time.

Del Worsham is a racer.

But the tippy-top of the list ... by a considerable margin in my estimation ... Jeg Coughlin Jr. I love watching that guy race a car. The sport is going to miss him while he is gone.

Melanie Troxel, John Force,Gary Densham are all racers.

I forgot about Melanie ... Only person ever to win in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Alcohol Dragster and Pro Mod. That is definitely a racer.

Here are few RACERS that come to mind.... in no particular order: Dom and Bobby Lagana, McMillen, Bode, Karamesines, Chrisman, Strasburg, Joon, Palmer, Creasy, John Smith, Jeff Deal, Haddock, Brown, Beckman and ALL of the sportsman racers!

I mentioned that I would post pictures of my dad's streamliner, but I'm not "tech savvy" enough to post pictures. Sorry, maybe someone can help!
