Well I'm back1 The weather was incredible? the racing was even more incredible! Dream conditions all 4 days, Cool dry air, 85 deg. track surface temps, True sea level pressure! and a track with so much bite it almost ripped the slicks off the cars. The result was the Fastest funny car qualifing times in NHRA history, the bump was 4.899!!!!!! with Tim Wilkersons Levi,Ray and Shoup car going 4.758 for the number one spot. On race day eliminations Tony Pedregone went 4.739 at 332 and change MPH, both would have been a world record had he been able to back it up. As for us? well we were the only car to make all 4 qualifying runs A to B with first pass at 5.14 267, second pass 4.99, 301, third pass at 4.94 306 and last but not least a 4.9000 at 316 and change. missed the field buy .001 of a second!! need I say we were heart broken? we did get a check for 17th but it was nothing like the check we lost by not making 16th or better. The only thing worse for the weekend was dismissing our crew chief, a tuff decision but what can I say. we got a lot of encouragment from most all of the other teams and drivers who came by the our pit to offer their condolences, which did make us feel better knowing we have finally been acepted by our fellow racers and knowing they were pulling for us. We may not make Pheonix but we will be back at Vegas with a new crew chief and a new out look, the cars is runnig like a rocket!

Hey, when they get a camera on you for the interview afteryou win next,
Througfh a plug at the Marauder. If your alowed that is. ;)

You would all be amazed at the awareness of this car among the teams and drivers. I have our driver Bob Bode primed for the next on camera interview, he's going to say something on the order of "Bill White one of the co-owners has nicked named the funny car "Bad Boy" after his personal car a Marauder! He says their both "Bad in Black"

Hey Bill, keep the Chicagoland Mad Marauders in mind when your team heads for Joliet/US 66 this season, we'll head out that way with some six packs!

Your on Mac. I might even skip the plane and let the "Bad Boy " do his thing all the way to Chitown!
