Princeton Grass Drags

[DENNIS]

Dale are you going to race this year? I'm hoping to have the one lunger again and i'm also going to run a sled for a friend. If you need help let me know,i believe brandon will be there a long with some other friends... DENNIS

I will be there. I am bring the 340 and 440 F/As. The Magnum needs more tuning time and is confined to the garage on house arrest. I was out testing last month and the 340 is now a little faster on the grass then in previous years. I am excited to see how she runs against the ModStockers this weekend. The 440 is going as she was raced last winter.
On another note, wait until you see Paul James El Tigre modstocker run. This sled was rockin' at Withee 2 weeks ago. I have never seen an El Tigre run like this one does. If I wouldnt have seen it with my own eyes I wouldnt have believed it. The Iowa GPX boys are going to have their hands full against this Cat.

Hey dale did you know the races are on sunday this year? Us vintage boys are taking all the big boys by surprise. DENNIS

Dennis, I just want to make sure I thank you for powerbrooming the launch pad area for me today. I also want to say "thanks" to everyone who pit crewed or lent a hand at the start line for me including Dennis, Paul Romanoski, Dave Nueman, Paul James and Layne Wahlberg. I had a decent day of racing, the sleds ran well but I fully realize the day would not have been NEARLY as successful without you folks eager to lend a hand. It is a whole lot easier to win when all I have to do is cut a light then drive the sled. Thanks guys.

Any time dale,with out you running them F/A's rupp wouldnt even be known to exist except (TRACY'S MAGNUM) or now known as DR.EVIL.In all it was a good day and dale you forgot to tell everyone you went 5-0 for the day,the video is AWSOME DALE man o man you should see it or should i say BUY IT...I have about 20 min left on it before i finalize it but when i do i'll get you a copy. I have to go watch it again and see what the guy was calling you? I'll let you know..............DENNIS

Well boys? I heard from a reliable source that the Rupps did really well at Princeton, and that black Magnum won yet again!! pics, we need PICS!! and if no pics how about the story THANKS GUYS!! ;D

Cory if you can get the video to show up here some how i will send you a copy and every one can see dale in action,along with paul and a few others.The wife taped every one i helped at the track.Afew people knew there was a bet going on with the BLACK MAGNUM AKA DR>EVIL the dr evil came from the anouncer at the track because he knew the sled was fast from the year before,but any way tracy's brother tony and a friend named dave both long time friends had a bet that the loser eats crow.Ya the black bird!!Well in between helping dale and a few others i drove a 76 moto ski sno pro for my buddy dave be cause between tony and dave some one was eating crow.Well the moment of truth came 4 sleds at the line myself, tony and 2 other sleds,i hit the light so perfect i shot out and was gone,just barly out of sight was tony and as i came across the finish line he was right there.They called me the winner and then said DR EVIL got me by just inches. I figure tracy and alec slipped a little help to tony so they could see dave eat crow.It wasnt the same with out tracy's wise cracks and funny sounds but i belive he was there and he wasnt going to let any thing but a rupp win. YOU ARE MISSED MY FRIEND AND WILL NEVER BE FOR GOTTON.........DENNIS

[magnumforce]

Amen to that!! Thanks Dennis,, I was just thinking, allthough it takes time you can also upload to you tube under your own account that video begs to be seen but i don't want to put you through any grief either we'll figure it out and this site supports video links so it would be well let's say I'm kind of teary eyed ( ya I'm a wuss I admit it lol)

[nitrofa340]

So thats what all the "eat crow" decals I saw was about. I wish Dennis or Dave would have explained the bet before the races started. Thats some funny stuff.
