Chalk this one up to lady luck. Sometimes things happen for a reason and last night was one of those nights. The race for the #7 spot happened kind of late due to some TV people who wanted to record match races for their show. They pulled Joel Cura and Mike to the side for personal interviews about their cars before the race. I sure hope someone mentioned Texasdragracing.com...LOL!

For TV, they had each racer do an individual burnout. Mike went first with his burnout in the Daredevil Stang. They then told Joel to come on up, it was his turn. During his burnout, I heard a loud pop. I immediately recognized that sound as one I have heard before on a turbo car. One of the outlet tubes had popped off. When this happens, it means no boost for the turbo car. And as fate would have it, this actually turned out to be a good thing.

At the hit, Mike juiced his 6.0 GM powered Mouse Stang and lit up the big red buld. Joel, making no boost, stayed behind. Just cruising down the track. Mike was on a roll, when all of a sudden the Daredevil made a sharp right. Right into where Joel should have been . Mike pulled the wheel to the left and put the stang back in his land, but the rear end came around and smacked the guard rail on the spectator side. Behind me, one of Mike's crew men was yelling, "save it Mike, save it!" And, given the minimal damage, I guess Mike heard him.

Dudes, I cannot thank you enough for everything you all do for TDR and the TDR race fans. To go out there and risk your rides for nothing more than a Spot on our website is something I simply cannot thank you enough for. Mike, I know you all will be back. And I look forward to the re-match. I heard you all were supposed to do it again last night. But time drew short for us and we had to call it a night. Here is the video of the race last night for the #7 Spot between Mike from Pro-Tech and Joel Cura's Booger.

i have heard that the track is not prepped as well on wed. as it is on fri. or on weekend events. -- start racing on fridays......, 21:28:41 10/15/09 Thu
The track is always prepped the same. The difference is, who is running. On a Wednesday night, you got kids out there with street tires tearing up the VHT. You got kids running with their A/C on. Or with bags of ice sitting on the intake when they come up to run. The reason the track hooks so good on a Saturday race is because there are no street tire cars out there racing. All the cars have slicks. What Julio could do is ban street tires on Friday's. But, that would kill about 95% of the Friday night racers...LOL! -- Mod, 23:32:59 10/15/09 Thu
I'll be out tonight in Undertaker, trying to get down the left lane. I know Hearn is gonna throw me over there, when I challenge him, so I better get good. LOL -- undertaker598, 07:37:08 10/16/09 Fri

With the economy in turmoil, it surprises me that some of our sponsors have not renewed their advertising with us. It's times like this that your company name has to be out there. Considering what print ads and Tv ads cost, placing a small ad on Texasdragracing.com is a very effective way of targeting your customer base. We offer two simple plans to our customers.

$150 Per Year (12 Months) for a simple business card ad.

$250 Per Year (12 Months) for a flash banner. (New Price)

We are talking about advertising as low as .41 cents per day. That is less than a can of Coke. If you pull just one customer from your ad, that alone will cover your advertising for the entire year. We have nearly 1000 hits per day on our site. And we also have one of the best Free Race Car Classified's out there. We promise you will get your money's worth with a simple TDR ad banner.

Example: This past weekend, I had two phone calls from customers looking for chassis work on their race cars. One customer was from Mexico and the other was from North Texas. Right now, we do not have a chassis shop advertising on our site. So I had to send them to whomever came to mind first. The client from Mexico said, "My friends and I read your site everyday and we trust your advertisers". Is business like this not worth .41 cents a day to you?

Give us a call or e-mail us today to place your ad on The Fastest Website In South Texas, Texasdragracing.com.....

Been getting a lot of calls lately about some big storm brewin' out at the SPS/Area 51 Camp. Don't know exactly what they got going on or what they got cookin'. But I can only imagine it is going to be bad ass. But, in the mean time, while they are getting ready, some are already doin'....Last night, out of no where, Juan Molina pulls this bad sum'b!tch out of his trailer. Looks to be a C5 style Corvette with what sounds like a powerful big block under the hood. Don't know what it is supposed to run, but Juan's son, Juan Jr., told me...Keep an eye out for this one....The car is an absolute animal.

And the chase is on! A few weeks ago, the Ghost Team threw out a pass that let everyone know that they were not messing around. Everyone was confused. With a Mousestang, who do the Ford guys root for? Who do the Chevy guys root for? All you can do is take it for what it is and root for the Mousestang. Then came The Phenom. Ripping out a 8.35 pass. Giving the Ford dudes some hope that they would be coming out on top soon. Unfortunately, on the backup pass, The Phenom twisted the input shaft on the transmission and their quest for fame was over as soon as it began.

But what about the Chevy dudes? Certainly, no one out there in a Chevy can compete with a Mousestang, right? Word is, several Mousestangs are being built as we speak. Some figure, "If you can't beat'em, join'em". But hold on, as we all remember, Henry Thomae has been posting some pics of The Undertaker Chevelle getting some chassis work done. Yeah, no one seemed to care. Some said, there is no way that big heavy monster can compete. Oh yeah? Well, The Undertaker was out last night with it's new suspension work done and WATCHOUT!

Now known as THE GHOSTBUSTER, The Chevelle came out swinging hard. Making not one 8.30's pass, but coming back and backing it up with another 8.30's pass. All this with wheel spin, a little bit of side to side motion and letting off to a coasting 8.35 @ 150mph pass. Henry said a little more tuning on the suspension and THE GHOSTBUSTER Chevelle will be the first TDR TOP TEN ride in the 7 Second zone!!!.....I should mention that Henry's passes last night were in full TDR Rules trim. All you Mousestangs have now been warned. The big red taillights of THE GHOSTBUSTER will soon be in your view. Watch out Ghost Crew, cause THE GHOSTBUSTER Ain't afraid of no Ghost.

Good one Aaron. It did weigh 3320 so I did not take no 900 pounds off. The doors are still just the way they came out of the factory. Everything is factory from the back of the seat forward. It is fricking awesom now. Next year I will do the front clip just to piss more people off. lol -- undertaker598, 18:17:04 10/06/09 Tue
how did u drop 3 tenths +with 150# weight reduction was it a combination of better traction less weight and more power or just traction and weight .good job henry -- j penaflor, 20:56:36 10/06/09 Tue
Believe it or not, less nitrous and much better chassis set up = better traction. The weight reduction helped alot too. -- undertaker598, 22:07:49 10/06/09 Tue

Despite it being a somewhat slow night last night at EIRT, the action was over the top. With Henry, Juan Molina, Bridgie, Mike & Juanio from Pro-Tech, 1320 Performance and Jason Cantu out there testing, we were more than entertained. There were a few rides out last night, but the ones that did come out put on a great show for the race fans. The track action video is absolutely packed with some awesome footage.

For tunes, I went ahead and threw in a couple of songs from the new Alice In Chains album, Black Give Way To Blue (2009), I hope you all enjoy it. For those of you that are Alice In Chains fans, I went ahead and uploaded the entire alblum to the TDR Music Jukebox. Give it a listen, it kicks ass. Here are the video's from last night, including one from our TDR Youtube Channel. Be sure to check it all out. And don't forget to go thru our Photo Gallery from last night for some sweet pics snapped by the TDR Crew.

Those guys are a trip. If you stare at their cars too long at the show, they will tell you, "What the fv*^ you looking at?"....LOL! Anyway, we ended up at Palmfest with a little of our cruise in friends. Spent the whole day listening to some cool music, checking out some sweet rides and talking shop with our friends. Got to meet some nice people today. Here are a few pics the TDR Crew snapped of the show. Hope to see you all at the next show.

Dan @ DLS 219-956-2653. Dan was the motor guy behind Precision Turbo for years till he decided to do his own thing. For what your wanting to run your not going to need a whole lot of motor work. Decent bottom end, heads cam, turbo, etc. Conley is one of the best also. -- Justa6, 13:29:42 09/29/09 Tue

Got a couple of video's done tonight. First one is of what appeared to be a very fast Chevy truck doing some testing. Thing sounded like it had some kind of Pro-Stock motor in it. And with Sergio Garcia from SPS lining it up and Roy Perez, doing driving duties, it probably did. Unfortunately, something gave way in the steering and the track ended up coming to rest against the guard-rail on the opposite side. No worries though, Roy walked away fine and the truck did not appear to have any major damage. I uploaded this video to the TDR Video Channel on Youtube.

Our next video is the world famous Track Action video. This one is about 10 minutes long and is jammed packed with action. We have turbo cars, nitrous cars, Vipers, you name it. Be sure to check it out.

What a crappy rainy week it has been. Can't get anything done on the projects at all. We finally got our new control arms for our Wagon project. We planned on installing them today. But nope, it's been raining so we can't go outside. So, my son Chris stayed in the garage, working on the 350 Pontiac engine that will be going in our 1980 Trans Am project. We also dropped off the upper & lower control arms at D&D Wheel Alignment. DJ always takes good care of us and handles the bushing and ball joint swaps. I will post up some pics tomorrow of where we are with the projects.

Anyway, back to racing at EIRT. Like everything else, the rain has affected EIRT's race schedule. We did get to race last night. But man was it slow. I think overall there were about 30 cars there. They did have a few spectators out there though. And one thing that was not slow out there last night was The Phenon Stang. As you all read earlier, The Phenom Crew ripped out a 8.33@ 149mph shakedown pass. Got to give props to Ralph for driving the car. You could tell he was fighting it all the way. With not enough cars out there and a lot of moisture in the air, the track conditions just were not the best. Here is The Phenom's pass from last night....

**CLICK ON PIC FOR VIDEO**

Was that wild or what? For more wild action, check out the world famous track action video. We have vids of Mr. Turbo, Joel Cura, making about 60 passes in The Booger. Car was very consistent, turning 10.50 passes over and over. Also last night, the match race between Jason Cantu and Juan C Penaflor went down. We got to the track just as they were lining up. So we were not able to get the race on video. But, Juan C Penaflor won the race. Also out testing was Charlie Deleon, running a 9.57 pass in the Chapulin Stang. Go ahead and check out the video below...

**CLICK ON PIC FOR VIDEO**

Again, there were not a lot of cars out there. So that means we did not get a whole lot of pictures. Also, The Photog, Abel Puentes, was not part of our crew last night. So we will definitly be missing his always awesome pics. Here are a few highlights of what we got. And of course, the picture gallery with a few more pics.

Awesome races tonight guy's. The TDR racers put on a great show for the race fans. All the races went off as planned, except for the race between The Bounty Hunter and The Reaper. The Bounty Hunter crew was having some issues with the nitrous system and were not able to make the call. Congrats to all of tonights winners, but special congrats go out to the Ghost Crew for drawing a new line in the sand. With Ed Galbraith behind the wheel, The Ghost managed to rip out a 8.21 @ 166mph pass...DAMN!...That is all you heard in the stands...LOL! I believe Jason Cantu also set a new low ET for his Top Notch S-10. Awesome job dudes. Here are the vid's of tonights races. I didn't want to go to bed until I had them up...enjoy....

mark thats a crock of shit you saying we did not make the call i personally with henry went to ask reaper if he was ready at 9.30 and he was having issues with half throttle bullshit then i went and talked to tommy if he wanted to race just for fun and he had electrical problems to so i then told henry just to run the car make some passes and forget about the spots so please dont go around posting shit that did not happen -- ruben ybarra bounty hunter, 08:12:48 09/19/09 Sat
Ruben, I was trying to be nice. But since you brought it up. Both you and Henry need to read Rule #1. I cannot believe that you all would not give Orlando 10 minutes to get ready. Both you and Henry came up to me and started CRYING! about how you had to be up early and how Henry had a funeral to attend and cry, cry, cry. I was very surprised by your behavior last night. Hell, Henry was even crying about the cost of the trophies? You did not tell Henry to make some passes. Both of you told me you were going to make one run, then were loading up and going home. Once you told me that, you were out of the game. What you guys needed to consider is that Orlando came all the way from Alice, Texas to race. And, Ed Galbraith also came down from Alice to drive The Ghost. They deserved a little bit of patience in my opinion. Next time, if you have to be somewhere the next day, then don't race. You guys displayed some truly unsportsman like behavior last night. -- Mod, 09:37:41 09/19/09 Sat
Looked like some good racing. Nice run Team Ghost! -- Justa6, 12:25:43 09/19/09 Sat

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT HENRY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO PASS OUT TROPHIES.IT IS SOMETHING THAT HE DOES TO PROMOTE RACING AND TO PROMOTE HIS NITROUS BUSINESS.I'M SURE THAT IT WAS JUST AN OVERSIGHT ON HIS PART AND HE WILL GET WITH THE WINNERS AND PASS THEM OUT.THANKS HENRY FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR THE RACERS -- TEAM GHOST, 12:56:50 09/19/09 Sat

I AGREE HENRY WAS A GOOD SPORTSMAN LAST NIGHT TOWARDS ME. RUBEN WAS THE ONE DOING ALL THE CRYING, AND NO MY HALF THROTLLE WAS NO BULL SHIT. I WILL NEVER GIVE YOU THE TIME OR DAY ON ANOTHER RACE EVEN IN REVERSE AFTER THE SHIT YOU STARTED LAST NIGHT. THATS WHY HENRY I HAD TOLD YOU NO NOT CAUSE OF YOU BUT CAUSE OF RUBEN.--- REMEMBER RULE NUMBER 1---- (REAPER) -- REAPER, 15:17:16 09/19/09 Sat

And as for the trophies, I still have plenty to give away. I already gave Joe Dirt and Jason their trophies last night. Only reason I didn't give Hearn his is, because I left before they ran.

wow it is pretty calm in here curios george. now the real question is..who out there has the power and what driver has the skill and experience under pressure to raise the 20's BAR the ghost put down????? its obvious the reaper turned out to be a Creaper. so what is the phenom lacking from challenging??? -- bret kipner, 19:00:12 09/23/09 Wed
Well aren't we quite the novelist Mr Curious George. Funny you should mention that your laughing your ass off when you don't even have a car of which to speak of. The Phenom will be out testing friday and with a little help from the weather will see if that 500 hp lawn mower engine under the hood can paint sum 8.2? on the board. -- The Phenom Crew, 01:51:29 09/24/09 Thu

lawn mower and all at least i can put my money where my mouth is and guarantee my car gets down the track to THE 1/4 MILE... have u been able to accomplish that???? the only thing i have seen the hired gun do on here and out there is shoot off the mouth more than run the car.......like i said when i see it ill believe it...no need to post little youtube videos of 1/8 mile passes...cuz on youtube twin turbo stangs paint real numbers not 5.20s on the 1/8th!!! strap in and hold on cuz i hear those cars tend to move once u get to the 1/4.... as the new paint job is evidence....good luck guys!!! -- CURIOUS GEORGE( 30 dollars per yard edging and all) please refer me i do great yobs!!!, 10:55:03 09/24/09 Thu
- "at least i can put my money where my mouth is..." Talk is cheap! So u are lining up against the PHENOM tomorrow???? "no need to post little youtube videos of 1/8 mile passes...cuz on youtube twin turbo stangs paint real numbers" Very foolish statement. That not only goes for twin turbos, but big blocks, nitrous, etc. etc. So to compare the Phenom is to compare every other car here in the Valley, INCLUDING yours, if you show up tomorrow, which I doubt. You are not different than any other hater behind a keyboard. SO, PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!!!! (NT) -- dont drink haterade..., 13:23:39 09/24/09 Thu

are you all running a short belt or what? if so did you all grind the bolt that hits the belt when you do the short-belt mod? -- my suggestion, 22:06:47 09/23/09 Wed
Nope, no short belt mod. All we did was replace a squeeking idler pulley with a new one. Ever since then, the car throws the belt. Guess I am going to order one from the dealer to see if that helps. -- Mod, 22:46:46 09/23/09 Wed
If you have a Asp pulley that might be the problem. My car did the same thing, i ended up getting a Kartech Tentioner and it took care of the problem. -- Sam, 21:29:50 09/24/09 Thu
