Great job Dan!!!

Mullet for the Win !!!

What a deal, you win a race and instead of a trophy and a check, they give you your own dog. WTG there Cowboy

Congrats Dan! That was an awesome final and to win with a hole shot makes it even sweeter! And David was no slouch on the tree either.

I have to say, (and don't take this the wrong way guys) With all the lip smackin' that goes on here with the racing, I've never seen anyone back it up like Dan does. You truly are the racer's racer... Congrats Dan on the win, and everyone else that helped Blake make this a huge success...

It just hit me...an All Thunderbird Final!
I have been pondering a lightweight 1958 Thunderbird....for the future...
The other similarity, is that both guys in the final have worked their asses off on their rides in the last few months..
So, If I work hard, and get a Thunderbird, maybe I could win too!
Heck, Dan probably DRINKS Thunderbird too!

Good Job Dan,I knew that if you were close in ET that you would be hard to beat.You are THE most fierce competitor that I have ever met my friend. Congrats too all that raced.

Great job Dan. It was a awesome race, and congrats to David as well. It was a hell of a show.

Congrats to Dan! You slapped me on the tree...lol It was a great run...love em like that..side by side the whole way down.

A big round of applause for Nick, Blake and Andy for making this show a success.

Also, a big THANK YOU to the guys working at the track and out there on that HOT asphalt at the line. Brutal with track temps 150+

It was great seeing the familiar faces again and also meeting some good friends for the first time in person.

Looks like the Thunderbirds were flying this weekend...congrats

Waaay To Go Dan-O

Good job Dano, makes the ride home a little better.

Better get that btch back together before Norwalk in October

HOPE IT'S BACK TOGETHER by then, got to fix this damn oil pressure problem, Ran good for 5 passes no problems then went to maybe 5 lbs, unloaded off trl last night and it's bouncing between 5 and 20 lbs...]HELP ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEA'S]

My guess is wiped bearings. Mine acted like that. Sorry it didn't work out better for you.

Congrats Dan

Sounds like you might have a lifter out of the bore Dave

Congrats to both guys you drove the wheels off of them.
Dan I had no choice but take a shot at you on the tree and I was closeto making it a race!Congrats to everyone who run this deal.It was brutaly hot.It really did wind up being a NO BS race.Everyone who showed up beat their stuff like a rented mule and did not whine.It is a challenge to try and go fast in 100+ temps.
I still think I should be declaired the offical underdog. I was just proud to be on the porch with you guy's.
Thanks to Andy Blake Bruno and sponsers for putting this deal togather.I need more power and I will be calling on you!

Dan the man Congratts

Nice job guys! Congrats Dan.
