Day at Englishtown

Spent the day at Englishtown yesterday and was really impressed. After growing up with Nascrap and then going to my first National event there is no comparison! Standing next to Antron Brown as he mixed his fuel, seeing John Force get off his scooter after a run to sign autographs, before the car got back to the pits. To feeling the thunder of the fuel cars, and smelling the nitro. NHRA rules hands down! Had a blast yesterday and will go back as often as I can. Needed more time so I could visit with the Prostock cars. Just ran out of time.

If you get a chance to talk to Jim Yates give him a yell. He is a super nice guy and remembers where he came from, bracket racing. He is the ??head consultant?? for the Gray Pro Stock team. I used to race with him in Virginia before his Pro Stock days. Super nice guy. He was running FORDS back then. I remember when he showed up with Bob GLiddens old red and white Motorcraft Thunderbird at Colonial Beach, Virgina. I thought I was loosing my mind when I saw that thing. I could not believe I was that close to that car. Jim went on the have a very successful career as a Pro Stock driver/owner.
