THE PLAYERS

JD, Jason Derr, was all smiles after his 7.90 pass in his new Quay car.

7.38 on a 7.90 at 187.18 MPH after a foul in round one to Tom Seward. 
I think he fouled on purpose just so he could run flat out.

Dave Bratton's new `02 Trans Am made everyone take notice with his 8.10 blast at 
174 MPH! Next week he'll remember there is no Cross Talk in IHRA.

Arithmetic Camaro, puts down 3 and carries 1.

Grass needed trimmed anyway.
