Parked the car in the winner circle this past weekend at the Midwest Promod series race at Xtreme raceway park. 4 runs during eliminations varied from 3.905-3.915 Worst light was .018 in the final. Car and driver were one Saturday night.
Q4-R4 time slips. Track temp in Q4 was 135* Check out the 60 and 330 times, not bad for a 2500 HP bracket car. Water grains were north of 130 This message has been edited. Last edited by: Big Steve,

Very cool. Always liked calling it before the run just to show i know what its going to do.Sounds like your son(crew chief?) does the same. Was even more fun predicting et at 330' and watching other drivers shake their heads as et popped up on board.

I have known Steve and his son for some years now. We met while bracket racing at Texas Motorplex. At that time, Steve and son had a 68 Camaro that was a regular round winner. As time passed, they moved into a dragster then top dragster.
Big Steve and Steve are the real thing. They are hard workers, detail-oriented, and good learners. I hold them in high regard as a true example of sportsman drag racing.
Good job boy, well done.

You don't need a CF Spitzer to turn on win lights, but if someone wants one I know a guy......
