Thanks for the congrats!!!! My crew did a great job and overall I was very happy with the consistency of our race car runing 7.6 over and and over again. It was an honor to race against some of the fastest rotaries in the world to include La Atravieda and Pica and have it come down to just Reactive Racing and Pica unfortunatley we broke but that is racing. I expect to improve next race as we learned some key things about our setup this weekend. It was a very proud day for the rotary community and we look forward to visiting PR in november.

Thanks to all the Rotorheads that showed up to cheer us on!!!

That's exactly what I thought. The Titan supra ran 7.94 and it looks like a daily driver. Don't get me wrong. I'm very happy we won the event, but I don't think it was fair for the toyotas.

Looks like it's time for a repost of Bret Kepners Cardinal Rules of Drag Racing!

1. The person who wins the championship is ALWAYS cheating.

2. All cars faster than YOURS are cheating.

3. All people slower than YOU know YOU'RE cheating.

4. If your name is Titan, well....come on...

5. The tech guys hate YOU but let everybody else slide.

6. All the OTHER people ruin it for everybody else.

7. If it wasn't for people like YOU, racing would totally suck.

8. Any car not built under a tree in a backyard by an idiot making less per hour than YOU is a cheating, professional race car.

9. Any racer who willingly spends more money than YOU is cheating.

10. Any racer whose vehicle works better than YOURS is cheating.

Unfortunately, I think Ken and I are going to sit out Atco and regroup for Denver on June 10-11, it's not worth the expense and time off work. Ken still is still randomly dessintegrating motors, due to intermittent noise.

Congrats D. From the other D.

Dan,

I got one of your passes on tape. I think it was your 3rd qualifying pass. You went 9.78@144mph.

Hey Dee, it is so awesome to see your FD everytime you make a pass at the track. They would love watching your car run in Puerto Rico. Good Luck!
