BTW, there is a new hard rock song called "The Boogieman" but I didn't catch the name of the group. I think it played on K rock.

So the guy in the red Vette unloads and makes one timed run to qualify. He runs an 11,9. Seems there is a problem with the torque converter. His opponents ran timed runs of 11.51 and 11.54.

The guy in the red vette knows he's toast but doesn't go down without a fight. He stages for the first round, light comes on and he's gone. His opponent leaves at about the same time. The guy backs down and apparently decides to fender race Edgar. Yep, I found out the guy in the red Vette was Edgar himself. Edgar lost by .02.

Announcement.

I will be answering the rest of this evenings questions for Edgar. Please refer to me for the remainder of tonight or hold questions for Edgar and I'm sure he'll have a news conference tomorrow.

Steve McDonald from Hamilton, Canada won Extreme Street in the purple C4. When I raced and beat him he was not spraying. On the bottle he had run a 9.1X - out of my league.
