Default Al-Anonomous beat me!

Mr Wells stepped it up with the nitrous breathing Nascar monster 427! He hit it with the 200 shot and and ripped a 1.40 60' to my 1.46, and lit the board with a 9.622 @ 143.32. Congrats on the new personal best Steve!
I ran a 9.733 @ 142.22. (Not bad for a stock bottom/stock head) Also my new personal best! I got him a the tree .131 to his .221.

The mov at the stripe was .021! Pretty good match up!

Yes I lost to Steve, he called me out and backed it up! It was a real close race all the way down the track. Ill post the slip up later.

Congrats Bro...

When do I get my Disco Ball and last weeks tech card??????

Wow, both cars are pretty stout very close race. Congrats to Steve for being able to "back the smack" as they say. Don't feel bad Shawn, you still won the Pro-10.5 championship and thats quite a feat considering the competition.

An awesome day at the track all culminating in an awesome race between these two guys.
Good job guys, you both have some seriously impressive fast cars and do a great job of driving them, congrats to you both on that (but especially to Steve who won! ).

It was an excellent race!

Shawn did great, his car is awesome, I was worried when I heard he went 9.75 at the track rental.
I had only gone 9.95 up to today. (In St. Louis)

It was the race we both wanted:
1) It was a clean race. (No red lights, or spinning off the line)
2) We both ran personal bests.
3) Nobody broke anything.
4) Nobody crashed etc...

Somebody had to win and God smiled on me today.

We went out afterwards for dinner and ice cream.

It was a great day win or lose and a great end of the season.

The entertainment has only just begun.

Great race on paper and in real life.

Shawn's Posse was there in force, I believe there is video from 3 different camera angles.
It should be up soon.
(but not as soon as if Shawn had won, it would have been up already )
