We knew we could do it. Force was in the second pairing, but he never got a chance to make that historic run because his car broke a part on the burnout and had to be pushed off the starting line. Shocked was the word Etchells used to describe his rival's reaction on that beautiful Saturday following the run by the Kendall oil Dodge. Not so fast. During eliminations on Sunday, Epler, in the Rug Doctor Dodge, beat him to that one, too.
Force is fond of saying.
Win more championships. He has two wins and 1,285 points in his Castrol Ford Mustang. Ron Capps of San Diego has four wins and 1,196 points driving Don Prudhomme's Copenhagen Chevrolet Camaro. Also within header flame distance are Etchells in his Kendall Camaro, with two wins and 1,097 points, and Cruz Pedregon in his Interstate Batteries Pontiac Firebird, with three wins and 1,036 points. They like those records and they put it in my budget three years ago.
