The Funny Car Reunion was a huge success. A
huge turnout of cars and spectators made for a great day of
racing. We ran Jerry Smith in the first round, and managed to
stay out in front of him with a 7.59 @ 183 to Jerry's 8.44 @
149. Second round lined us up against Bob Rosetty in the Rollin
Stoned Cuda. It was a great side by side race, and Bob got to
the end first going 7.46 @ 173 to my 7.50 @ 183.
Over 30 cars were lined up on the track and then
were started at the same time. It was a very impressive sight and
sound!
The highlight for me was being there when Joe
Jacona saw his old hot rod after 30 years. Joe is a cool guy, and
I had a real good time bustin' his chops all weekend. Bob Rosetty
should definitely be commended for doing such a beautiful job on
the car. Joe is already looking forward to next years Reunion!
