Congrats to Sutton, West and Merriman

Way to go Brian and Harold Sutton for getting the big Chevelle down in the 5.30's! New best of a 5.34 this last weekend at Ozark.

Also Bob and Rick, good to see you guys again and seeing you go some rounds! Bob has him a new magic toolbox that will put you .01 over the index on ever pass!

Hi John, Well i didn't have much to do with the improved performance but is was only a 5.35 @ 134 MPH. There is more to come as he gets comfortable with the new combination and turns up the wick though. The air will be much better soon as it never got under 3775 ft. D.A. the other night. It should go down around a 5.30 eighth in better air and shouldn't be far off the current record at Tulsa.

I have no doubt it's got a 5.30 in it or more. I'd say you've had a lot to do with the performance on that car Harold!

Hey Rick - they've raised the prices on those First Up Tents, now at $92 ea. I bought two of them last weekend anyway. Now we should have plenty of shade at the races.

Not quite as much as the Ozark gang though.. How many EZ-Up's/First-Up's did you guys have strung together anyway???
