It was amazing. Almost as good was them announcing all weekend that he was running a ProLine engine. He went up to the towers on Sunday and they said he corrected them. Billet Twin Turbo Pontiac.

Winning LDR, a very competitive small tire class against some of the best in the country, is great.

It was quite the accomplishment, definitely worth two threads!

Warp heads can be a great "equalizer", as you know.

I think right up there with some of top Pontiac achievements. Comparable to early 60s wins in drag and nascar.

I looked up the event and entry list. Lots of cars entered in that class. He had to go some rounds to get that victory. Of course doing it with a Pontiac engine is a big, big, bonus for the faithful. Congratulations on a big victory. Pontiac power and dedication, hard work, great driving and a good crew ruled the weekend!!

I met him at Bowling Green maybe 10 years ago. He said he owned his own Company and it was doing VERY well.
Nothing better than owning your own sponsor. Looks like he recovered from that "flying trip" ?

Some may not know Youmans went out second round in Georgia this past weekend with a broke fuel pump drive belt. Not before he qualified no 1 and set the mph and et records in the LDR class. Congrats!
