Yeah, I guess I really wanted Connie to win also. I would be really happy if Grubbie did it for them. What a likeable guy, and thankfull to.

I don't understand why Tony did not get any point deduction for that oil down in qualifying. Rick Stewart signaled him to shut it off, he staged anyway and oiled the track. WTF? He got fined the 20grand but no point deduction.Another NHRA mystery I just don't get.

I thought the whole year was one of the best seasons to follow,
All the classes had action and wars to follow.
I couldn't have scripted a better finish.

I still think the big money teams will emerge to the surface in the end next year, even with the new point system. They say that it will level the playing field, but it will all come down to the teams that are the most consistent,and thats when the big money teams with multiple cars stand out from the rest of the pack.

Anytime you have 3 of the 4 pro classes decided at the last race, it's a good season. From Hines redlighting in Pro Bike wating for Antron, to Force and Hight running the fastest side by side Funny ever, to Schumacher/Johnson winning it by the longest odds possible by setting a new record - pretty unbelievable. Just awesome for us, the spectators. I felt real bad for Doug though, Capps too. It has got to suck being runner up 3 times each. Remember the old phrase - there are winners and then there's everybody else. They don't care if it was 2nd or 10th, they didn't win.

I was cheering for Dougy. I like to cheer on the "underdog".

I also wanted to see Kalitta win it. Maybe next year.
