    Actually it's Baytown just East of the City. Yesterday a huge storm came thru and rained them out. I'll bet they are busy getting it done after the one day delay.

    I guess that I can't see the sarcasm view------------at least 2 individual racers got there instead of the TEAM entries---------

    Wilkerson had half of the Tasca team in his pits helpin' out. Musta borrowed his tune-up also 'cause Bob spent his weekend smokin' the hides..

    Cruz, he owns/runs 2 cars, and talks to much, just like the guy he loves to bad-mouth..

    So I guess at least one of those in the final was an individual racer!

    yuppers, and Cruz's greatest success in drag racing came as an employee of the man he loves to bad mouth!!!! John Force started out as a truck driver living in a trailer house.... and look at his list of accomplishments so far!!!! He's innovative in safety developments and involves his family in his racing efforts.... Don't really see where that would make him one of the bad guys.

    Not sure if Cruz ever worked for Force, Tony did and also drove for him and I take my hat off to both Tony and Cruz and Wilkerson. Personally I've always admired and liked the whole Pedregon family and the humble one for sure is Frank Jr.

    Cruz races one car---he has some of his prior cars which he could run if needed if something happened to his current car---he does have capability of putting one of his earlier bodies on the car------

    He never worked for Force---------
    Force is one of my favorite guys and I like all his family---I just don't like 3 and 4 car teams in a 16 car field-------

    Any racer needs to talk -----------
