| The TAF final was Ermshar vs. Hiedeman. Heideman took the win but didn't back up the 179.72 mph pass he laid down in the 1st round. |

Nightmare ran 179.72???. UNBELIEVABLE. That has to be the equivalent of a TFH running 260+. Too bad he only ran a dismal 169.68 in the final.  Congrats. That team always puts on a show and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The TAH final was also very dramatic. Congrats to Kebin and all I can say about Kent Price is, COWBOY UP. I don't think that boat touched the water but 4 or 5 the whole 1/4 mile and still ran a 5.71.
Way to go Trick Pony getting the runner-up in a field of 18 boats. Just a little antsy there my friend.
We were very sorry to see the damage on Eddy's boat. They finally had it dialed and it was going to make a great final. Whiskey ran a 5.19 and clicked it off at 1000 feet. |

Congrats Jeff, I guess Chowtown is your place!!
Looks like first round of TE was interesting, was their a lot of people breaking or what? Congrats to all the winners, from the looks of it, the weekend seemed successful. How was the turnout for spectators? |

It was one of those Cinderella weekends for me Vince. I'm always very lucky at Chowchilla. I got by the the first round, my competition had broken springs second round for a legal single, third round my competition had a dog blow out in the gear box on the line, then I had a bye into the finals. 18 boats in our class and I went five rounds huge red light in the finals. I lifted several times on the big end when necessary but my tuning was very consistent when I ran out the back door. Congrats to Ralph Richarson for back to back wins.
On a real positive note Vince I think I found out whats causing my inconsistency problems on the lights. I may confirm it real quick if I can raise some money to go to Marble Falls. Thanks to all the champs that have been giving me advise on the tree, Vic Espisito, Stan Tweedy and Bob Prigmore.
Some other good news is, its time for a motor freshen-up this winter and I may consider stepping up into P/E where you should be... running.
Thanks Scotty, see the Team Rescue Meal Sponsorship thread. I will update it as soon as possible. The hour and a half drive home was really tuff on us... LOL |

Hey Jeff, Thanks alot. It was great that it was us in the final, it couldn't have been a better guy in the other lane. You had me pretty nervous though when you were out there and my boat hit the chip and I could not catch you, then I thought I really screwed up on the light. Like I said at the awards, who would have thought when we were having a beer on Thursday, it would have been us in the final.

I think Tedesco broke parts during Friday's Test and Tune and went home. |

Thank you Vince, and all for the congrats. Winning Red Bluff was more cool than I could have ever imagined but then to come back and win Chowchilla is way too cool.
See all soon

I would like to thank everyone who came this weekend.
It was nice not being involved this year and being able to be a spectator!
Bill Barnes, I saw you on Sat., tried to make it to you, was stopped twice by people who wanted to visit, then you were gone. We still need to play golf. I did early Sat. and then spent the afternoon at the races.
Have a great year.
