    Just got back yesterday after Spring Festival of LX and Mopars at the Strip in Las Vegas. I won $700 by winning the bracket.

    I'm pretty stoked!

    Jeff, it was a pleasure to meet you and hang out at SF5. Your whip is amazing with looks AND power.

    Right on buddy!

    Do you have a real job or so you just galavant around the countryside for months at a time doing what all of us wish we could be doing? ;) It was great meeting your family. My wife referred to you as "that tall guy that was always smiling" the other day...lol

    Hahaha! I guess it is all that galavanting that is making me smile:D I was seriously contemplating doing the Mojave Mile event too but it was two weeks before Spring Festival

    That's just awesome Jeff. One thing about you at the track is that you have magical consistency.

    Way cool Jeff. How many rounds and what et's were you running? They have some altitude there so I would assume the DA wasn't the best.

    I ran 11.85-11.95 DA was between 2200 and 3100 feet.

    There were only 20 of us so only 4 or 5 runs to win. I didn't luck out and get any bye runs. I think I raced a stock Chally RT, a stock blue Superbee, a stock 5.7 Jeep and a stock Magnum SRT8. The guy in the Jeep and the Magnum were pretty good on the tree. I won with a .044 R/T vs a .167 R/T. I dialed in at 11.90 and had to let up a couple times to keep from breaking out.

    BTW Hal, there was some older dude from Arizona there with some twin turbo Chargers who wasn't very fond of you for some reason. He didn't like me much either:thongue2:

    That's weird, I don't know anyone with a twin turbo Charger. I know someone with a twin turbo 300 SRT8 whose name is Hal also, but he's not older. He's got red hair and owns a topless club and an escort service.
    Did you catch his name Jeff?

    I thought he mentioned your screen name. Maybe I was wrong.
