admire came door drag fight issue kicked open
I admire what she's done in the sport. She came out and had to fight her way in. She kicked the door open - 'Not only are we going to be here, we're going to win, so get used to it.' Now it's normal. This is not an issue in drag racing.
cooler full ground guys interest jumping waited
The guys waited on the ground with a cooler full of beer. They had no interest in jumping out of a plane.
anyway bit car carry excited hopefully improve job last maybe nice opportunity organized ran season sort strong time together year
It's the first time I've ever had any kind of continuity, to be able to carry on from the strong season that we had last year and hopefully carry that over to 2006 and even improve on it. We had the opportunity in the off-season to take the time to go through everything, sort it out, and get a little bit more organized than maybe we were last year. Last season we had to put everything together in such a hurry. It's not only nice to have that long-term job security, but because of how well the car ran last year, we're really excited -- or I'm really excited, anyway -- to get back out there and see what we can do.
altitude bit certainly expect good huge nice numbers passes racing strip teams tire
The Strip is a very nice facility. It's a little bit of an altitude track. I don't know if we expect to see huge numbers here, but certainly we'll see a lot of really good racing. I think the more passes all of the teams get on this new tire the better the racing is going to be.
