I want to send my condolences to Doug and Sonnie Herbert. This has to be the hardest thing in the world for them. A few years ago when my mom was really sick and we didn’t know if she was going to make it, both Doug and Sonnie offered the use of their jet to fly me from Pomona to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., to be with mom and family. No words can describe what a kind gesture that was to our family and we haven’t forgotten it. Our NHRA community is a big family and we’re very tight and quick to rally support when things go wrong and we just want to send our best wishes along to the Herberts.



We’re still at Phoenix testing and things indeed were somber over the weekend when the news of the tragedy spread on Saturday morning at the track. It’s definitely not the news we want to hear to begin the ’08 season.

I’ll do a post-testing blog later this week. That’s all for now.



All the best,
Hot Rod
