First the shout outs and a little story about finals. Pulled into DB Drag world finals sitting in a 154 that was with all the judging changes I had to make... I.E. headrests etc... with the DD's that was everything peaked... Mike Skritka bless his heart, got me all worked up and I started changing **** on my car because of the score he was playin in the pit stall next to me.. eventually I worked myself out of 3 tenths and could never get them back! So I did what any desperate man in my shoes would do... I went to talk to a true workaholic... Shock. Shock, Mike Ankney, hooked me up with the three tenths I lost and one more to boot which was amazing to me since I'd never really actually met the man before finals, only known him through Jeremy Weber and the forums. I will now have to find those three tenths.. it was in one of three things I did. But I want people to know that man made finals for me, and I was amazed to finally meet a subwoofer manufacturer who worked as hard on his subs as I do on my car... but in the end I ended up beating myself anyway and took the position I probally would have ended up with with the DD's, and my three tenth loss because I couldn't just leave my car alone... I will say this though... this is the beginning to a beautiful friendship, I would say! Shocker Audio and Sound Mekanix.....2005 .
Now for the fun stuff...Mike Skritka, Phil Lester, Alex... U guys are crazy! But cool as hell... I'll be putting that picture on the Forum for all to see... Eddie and Dave.. you guys still showed you have what it takes to make that EXP compete with "those damn CRX's"! And your CRX was the sickest car I've seen in a long time.. off the hook!!! Kevin and Sweep.. as always it was a pleasure... Kevin you are still gay in my book... Thanks to my teamates who helped me work on my car and helped push me to get louder... OH BTW everyone should know most of the great ideas for this season came while I was on the ****ter at work talking to Mike Makus on the phone... ha that's hilarious. Eric Coulter, Alex, Terry, and all the people running Collussus... you got robbed, seriously! They knew what they were doing and they knew the effect it would have on our finals. B.S if you ask me.. just like the headrests in CRX's and allowing "Some" people certain liberty's with the hatch areas of their vehicles and others no lee way. In my class I was under the impression all OEM pannels had to be in place.. that means the factory storage compartment behind the seat as well! Oh well guess it's fine. Hmm who else do I have to thank... Sounds and Motion crew.. you guys kick ass as always! Vernon Sargent... he's one of the most straight up guys I've met to date on the circuit...Brad Figard your Box was just crackheaded man! If I forgot anyone don't feel bad I'm just tired after the 10 HR drive!
Conclusions about finals... the loudest car doesn't always win ... as I said earlier, the guy who won Street B was simply put the guy who didn't make a mistake in the lane and that was Greg Perchal. He was a rock in the lane and his car, even though not louder than mine , played the 153.8 he needed to win... where as mine came up a tenth short because of two mistakes I made one before the run and one during. Finals was an amazing experience for me and I look forward to returning next year... and all I have to say about next year is be prepaired to be shocked... at minimum in Street B... that man has stills with a 450ounce motor structure, or a "slightly" smaller Neodidium motor, and some quality parts.
I am very proud as all the top 8 cars in every class should be about what went on at finals... this was one of the toughest finals that I have yet to see... and even though I haven't been there I've been watching... all the finals rounds in street went to the TENTH! I am proud to go in against the caliber of competitor I did and come away with 3rd. Anyone who wasn't at finals can't talk **** to anyone who was in the top 8 of any class! Everyone had to fight the whole time.
