If Kenny was still running he could be the queen of speed

Never saw a CSK Store

[@cskvision]

I've seen them as separate stores, Checker Auto Parts, Schuck's Auto Supply, and Kragen Auto Parts. Apparently their locations were all in northern and western US. Now all bought out by O'Reilly Auto Parts in 2008.

26:43 - Dougzilla Blitzkrieg. Not as bad as his bigger blast in 1999 at Pomona in the finals. Or the other big blast that ended Eddie Hill's career and lead to the rule change. Melanie Troxel from Englewood, Colorado was in her own dragster before she was brought into Don Schumacher's team in the Exide car later in the season and Tony Schumacher switching to US Army. But in the end, Jeg Coughlin Junior was riding high since the start at Pomona, John Force was back on top leaving Jerry Toliver down for the count. Gary Scelzi on his comeback tour 2000 was on a good start before Tony Schumacher struck back.

And how about Gary Densham getting the ride of a lifetime with the Blue Angels. Absolutely awesome!! And a great race for the father son Pro Stock duo with Jim Yates and his son Jamie

This is the final where Bob Vandergriff's guys put the blower rotors in the case backwards. Oops.

[@cskvision]

Ah so that's why it ran like an alcohol dragster on that pass, tough break

[@PaulSongas]

@@cskvision Yup. Then took 11 more years to get that first win. Brutal.

[@Over_The_Top-1320]

@PaulSongas… Are you saying backwards as in left and right rotors were swapped or swapped ends, as in front to back???
