Jake... So incredibly proud of you!!! Holy cow! This is just the beginning. Stinks that this happened. However, you are a trooper

? I think I want might be right nobody anything else fails, normally it will over rev the engine. But yeah, hope to see you back out soon and really glad to see you in a Top Fuel car and, I think someone else said this, just the beginning and off to a really good start

Plus I mean if one is going to own/ drive a top fuel car better, have open in some extra money being saved up because you're going to have to figure some stuff out and it likely won't be cheap in the process LOL- just hope the fire didn't eat too many wires or managed to take out your blower, blocks can't be fixed and when you have a good roots blower, you want to keep it.. because at the end of the day, all the racepak wiring, mag box, transducers for the racepak, fuel lines, air lines, hydraulic line for the clutch..(lol ‐ want to hear someone say it's just a motor in a car there's not anything technical on it it's hard for me to not start laughing a bit, anyway) stuff like that, that's what makes a fire for everything ends up in the diaper on fire, really makes things extra bad but it looks like the bottles got it out pretty quickly so I'm sure you will be back out in no time!

Really good looking car too!
