I cannot believe that the 50th NHRA Winternationals are almost here. For me the off season went by pretty fast, at least up until we were done testing about a month ago. These last 30 or so days though have seemed like they were in SLOW motion. I guess it's because I know how fast and consistent our DHL Funny Car was in testing and I can't wait for us to get out there and start ripping off some great runs and getting some round wins. I am also super excited for my teammate's Doug Kalitta and David Grubnic. Doug's car was flat out hauling some you know what and with Connie tuning Grubby's car you never know what's going to happen! Remember a couple of years ago they laid down a 4.42 in the quarter-mile!
 
With all the changes we have made to our team, I have nothing but the upmost confidence in Jon O, Nicky and my crew that we are going to have the best year ever with a Kalitta Funny Car and a solid Top 10 finish. I know it's a little early to be this optimistic but I have been around this sport for a long time and this is definitely the most confident I have ever felt!
 
I was going to give you a little update on our home life the last week or so but really, I am too wound up to give you the old what we ate for dinner, where we went, and how we spent Super Bowl Sunday. Who cares?  The races start in two days!!
 
Be there or be square!
