IHBA - Augusta, Ga. Southern Nationals
Hello Everyone!

Pictured is my new Pro-Eliminator Speedfreak's "BLOWN MONEY"

Taking the win in the P/E final-8.22 @ 140+

Augusta had 77 race teams attend and 5-TFH's and a-lot of action all weekend.

I want to thank Chip Huhges and his wife Kim for selling me there boat! P/E-Blown Money!!  I bought Chips Pro-Eliminator a month ago and I decided that I would have Chip wrench and drive for me in Augusta... while I work on my P/E Lic. which I did get on Sunday :-)

What a great weekend for Chip & I...We won Pro-Eliminator, Chip's first win as a driver , and mine as an owner...at my first race event!! also...on Sunday morning round-1 Chip cut a Perect Light...000 as did Andy Rynolds in his TAH Deju Vu.

Chip & Kim thanks!  ;-)

In TFH...Speed Sports won with a great~4.53 @ 256+ to record the quickest ET in the history of the sport.  Liquid Quicker Red-Lighted and broke at half track.

I will say that if...the Liquid Quicker would of ran a full pass and not red-lighted they would of ran in the 4.50's as well.

TAH-Kent Prices Black Draggin won...as Mike Fry red-lite!

TAF-Don's Habit Forming took yet another win!  Don has been on a terror in IHBA & SDBA.

S/F  ;-)

Many thought that Scotty barrel-rolled...But that was not the case!

The boat did ride at 90% on its left sponson and with the help of Speed Sports rooster-tail it righted Scotty but not without causing major damage to the boat.
