Default Is Major STOPPABLE?

After having watched Paul's car for the third time I am extremely impressed with the finished (almost) product and I feel that he put a pretty big distance between his car and anything currently running (maybe with the exception of Mitchell) or in the works. Even if I kept my car and gone through with my plans to make some changes I'd still be about 1/2 second off his pace. To put a car in the 7s is impressive enough but this guy is going deeper and deeper into 7s.

Having said that, who's gonna stop Paul? I'm betting nobody is going to challenge him for at least one more year. Anyone think otherwise?

Default Guys this drag racing anything can happen

Thanks for all the props guys but you guys need to look at our points race. 4 different winners how many lead changes. This is drag racing and **** always happens when you least expect it. The faster you go the more likely you are going to have issues. The Low ET crew has yet to get that beast ironed out and its just a matter of time we all know that. Valla racing has all the power he needs to take me out just needs to plant it. remember that car went 8.0 how? He took a ton of power out and got it down the track. Yesterday he went the other way he saw my numbers and went back to over powering the car and the track. The car is at Leo's for a setup and some input. Watch that car.
Billy got in his car for the very first time this season with a whole new setup and blasted off a sloppy pass at over 160mph now that mph is showing me mid at low eight at the very least on his very first day behind the wheel of a turbo car. Mike C. showed up with a car that can out class us all the car is set up to run. I have no dought he is already working on a power plant to put him in the show. Marc Shaw has alway managed to go the rounds now sitting on the side watching and plotting. He will be there. Allan now he has been racing every event he can getting the seat time in so he could drive that green beast the minute it hits the track. I know ESC is feeling the heat and they will come up with something to try and take me out. Now Paulie boy he can't keep borrowing cars to trying to stop the cravings its only a matter of time before he cracks. Mike R is already talking about a bigger turbo and a new 8 sec goal. That should hold him for how long?
We also have Greg C. and Keith V. I could keep going but I think I made my point Paul M. Is not running away with anything

Lets keep rasing that bar and remember records are ment to be broken

Well, lookie here, Paulie can be politically correct when he wants to

That was well put and stroked everyone's ego but I still think the gap is going to be quite large next year. Why? Because YOU aren't done either.

Hey, can I drive your car at the next event?
