Well, two races left and it's anybodies championship.

Who thinks John Force will win?

Who thinks Robert Hight's momentum will carry him through the year to overtake "the champ"?

And, who thinks Ron Capps has a snowballs chance in hell of winning the championship? (sorry Ron!)

Please don't give away who won today's race! I want to watch it on tv as if it were live; so please don't spoil it for me. NHRA comes on in 10 minutes, woo hoo! James

Yeah, I felt bad for him. It's got to suck to go into the race with the best car and not even get to race. How bizzare was that for a "c" clip to come off the blower drive shaft? I wonder if someone on the crew screwed up?

Well, it's looking good for John. James

Prock said it was a spirolock that came loose. They are a bitch to twist in and almost never fail. I bet $1 that someone forgot to install it, or did not seat it correctly.

.... even more-strange was the fact that NHRA sent his opponent down-track with the AAA Mustang still sitting ON the track:
seen stuff like that at back-water tracks, but never by NHRA's-own Safety Safari.....
