JD is a true racer, he was running on a 160.350 record, his best pass was
160.106. he missed qualifying by.245 mph. Is he crying, no way. he will be
back next year and try again. JD along with a long list of others have been
that close before. They are dedicated to the sport of LSR and never give up,
they just try harder the next time.
