Odin,
I talked to Mark for like 5 minutes last November when my fiance' and I were in in Miami after a cruise and hanging with Bulldog and his lady. I have a couple numbers for him. PM en route.
Doug,
Sorry bout your truck chief. The BABolt TB is a rare thing indeed. 1BADTK running a 12 was the man to beat.
Silver-Bolt,
Remember when Spiro worked for JDM and the caged pulley debacle that ensued (no pun intended)?

-I remember putting an 8lber on my stock block and promising Jim I would take it off after a few passes.. A year later I finally did.LOL
-FFWs with 30 plus trucks and Dougs great photos..(which I still have framed.Thanks Doug)
- A lot has changed..13s, 12s, 11s, 10s, 9s now 8s and 7s...Boy a lot has changed.

Glad you like them ...
Running the FFW events was fun
In a really hot, really exhausting, way too many Hooters wings and beer kind of way .....
I did a bunch of that travel with Paul Gamino from Houston - havent seen him in a few years - Wonder if he still has a truck

He is a hired gun for JDM..
Runs the Saleen truck in FFW and NMRA and also runs the 25th anniversary Saleen car in a Stang class in NMRA that JDM now sponsors.

I couldn't believe how Fast these Guys were! I dreamed about running times like those!!!
Other Big Time Achievments that come to mind is when:
Jim D'Amore was towing his mustang down to the track to race it with his Black Gen 1 Lightning & MM&FF magazine asked him if he wanted to run his Lightning tow truck. He said yes & clicked off a 10.65!!!
Sal Mennella ran a 10.48 which was Unthinkable @ that time!!!
Johnny Lightning ran a 9.88 @ Maple Grove
Dave London Won the Street truck Shootout @ E-Town w/ 9.99
Charlie Stanley went a 9.98
Mike Redden (Rob Caruso) JDM truck ran 9.74
I set the Lightning track record @ E-Town (JDM DAY '06) 8.25
These are just a few stories of Many over the years!!! All the great Memories!!

I still stop by occasionally and would certainly help someone if I can. The love of my Lightning will last a lifetime.
Hello to all my old friends..... You too Raoul, you still crack me up. By the way, Just had the family to visit Williamsburg, Jamestown and of course Yorktown. It's beautiful country.
