Thanks buddy! I hope someone got the video. LOL

You and Johnner have given me a lot of good advice over the years with your experience so some of the credit belongs to you all as well.

My friends Brian and Jim and Jerry have also helped me a great deal too. No man walks alone in this sport of ours! I'm very thankful to everyone.

It certainly is worth it all, especially with all of the boot trouble. CONGRATS again Mike.

WOW!!!

Mike, congrats to you man!

I remember he was beating me with a trap speed of 96ish, and I was running 109 just a tenth behind him. That thing is moving, man...

Congratulations to Mike on his 12.1! It was well deserved. Mike has put a few hours into that 24 valve this winter. I think he has a few more tricks left. Might be in the 11's next time. 12.0 class better look out, Mike is hungry!

Thanks Mark! I think I was trapping about 104 or so, I just caught a good good 60'. You were running those mud diggers still. With your OL's tires you would have killed me.
