    I got my NHRA LICENSE somewhere around 2002. I run my pass at MRA In Missouri. I was licensed to run 6.85 I do believe its been many years ago. Only thing was Bob Blackwell out of Division 5 Kansas City Missouri.
    I'm in a wheelchair so I had to send a video in to Bob to see how fast I can get out. He called me back an said for a man with no legs above the knees i could get out lot faster then most drivers. I still have my card. My fastest run was 7.65@164 60 ft 1.2 seconds. I miss it so much. Love your videos.

      Very impressive. I love to see people who over come hardships to excell. Compare them to fully healthy people who sit on their ass looking for sympathy. That last perfectly describes a relative of mine.

      I got mine around the same time. I went to Frank Hawley to learn and get my license. A few years ago, I tried getting it renewed. Got my physical and passed with flying colors. Being a disabled Vet, my condition had worsened and I just couldn't demonstrate getting outta the car quick enough.
      I miss racing so damn much! I'm in the process of returning my race car to the streets. If I go back to the strip, it will be a 'one and done' and get booted off. She won't be near as fast as she once was, but I can't drive a slow car!🤣

      I used to kinda think that Alex would be a good husband for Kesley one day. Until I found out he just got married. Good for him and wish his marriage the best. I just thought Alex would be a good choice to eventually take over the business with all the knowledge Denmis has pumped into him.

    I was lucky enough to have an older Brother and his friends who all Raced so I was around it from an early age and at 16 I ran my first pass, I learned a lot by going to the track and watching other people racing and it was all natural to me when I started running my own car, I think it would help her to go to the track and just watch, you have to get to the Point we're it comes natural and you don't have to think about every move before you do it, enjoy the ride.

    Back in the 70’s my friend who lived in Sarnia , Ontario across from Port Huron Michigan needed a part for his old Jeep Apache pickup. He says “we’re going to Rinke Jeep , it’s the 5 th largest dealership in the States” so we went there got his part and that was that. I didn’t know then that I would own 4 CJ 7s, and become a huge C J fan. Dennis my hats off to you for donating the Veit Nam Mustang to be auctioned off to benefit Veterans. My late father fought in Korea, you sir are a true example of a caring human being. Good luck to Kelsey on her NHRA career.

My son was born requiring some surgery when he was seven months old and i had to sell it. The fellow I sold it to ran a 10.38 at 134 mph at a track in Illinois. Congrats to Kelsey and the entire Collins team and all the great coaching she received. Outstanding!!!

    Not to take away from how great she's doing because she is talented at this, but about the car itself. The fact that it's a factory drag car is cool, but they don't deserve the same recognition as the original "real" COPO cars because they aren't street legal and all you can do with them is run them down a short strip of pavement. They should get a different designation for being a Drag only car even with being a Central Office Production Order, maybe a COPO/DO or something. COPO should be saved for a special order powerful street car that you can drag ALSO, not ONLY. The car is a trailer queen short run drag use only car. I'm more impressed by the ones that get driven to the strip, run down it, and driven home again.
