Default 2012 WCF - Super Street

Just wanted to take a minute and tip my hat to you guys. You guys build some serious machines and it's always a great time racing with you all. I can't remember a tighter field in the class and seeing a more well-built group of Hondas show up.

A few years back, it was rare to even see any of the cars go a round or stay together, or be able to cut a light to be competitive. I can see that those days are long gone. Great drivers, great cars. If I didn't cut a great light, Franklin would have taken me out easily with me spinning at the line. I can't believe Allan made it back to race the quarter finals against me after that crazy race with Miller lol. Great races!

I was lucky enough to set a few personal records this past weekend and had a great time. I honestly can't believe this stock motor didn't come apart. I was leaning on it pretty hard. I wish we could do this event more than just once a year. Hopefully I'll see you guys next year!

You have the new Coyote block in that car, right?

Congrats, Harold.

No, just the stock 4.6 that came with the car. Thanks.

Stock bottom end has Manley parts in it though, good stuff!
I believe the coyote has some kind of forged powder rod. Or you can buy a coyote long block with Manley/mahle parts in it already.

I wish we had options like that!

Your car has been running strong all weekend, congrats on the personal best. If if I'm not mistaken, you had the white GSX several years back?

I know that for sure. Having spent a lot of time with them, I know what it takes to get them to this level. LOTS of dedication. I don't think a lot of the domestic guys really know how much blood, sweat and tears are put into these cars. I certainly do.

I think I read through your post over on the yellowbullet. I watched you this weekend and you have yourself a good running car. Good luck with it in the future.

Great race Harold, you were very consistent and going rounds. I was having issues getting the short track down this week, I knew I had to get a good light on you to try to even keep up. Congrats on making it to the finals, I'll be looking for revenge next year :p

Who would of thought that the bump would be 9.17. I was getting a little nervous watching the 4th q on sat.

I can't believe it either. That's the tightest field I've ever raced in. Usually you can take a little breather the 1st round but not this time!
