    - Top 5 or 6 cars will be AFDs
    - Field will have a 9/7 split favoring the AFDs
    - 3 BADs will make it to the 2nd round, but only 1 (Possibly Kelly) will make it to the semis

    Meyer over Reichert in the final

    I think Guy Kelly will be running better then he all ready has, he had his dragster at Brad Hadman's shop getting some frame work done.

    three straight div. 2 wins & going to be the div 2 Lucas Oil dragster in the All Stars in Chi Town

    Ron S. has this car thundering!

    i double checked with phil, the name on the check we wrote was 'conway automotive'....

    i don't think its a secret boggs helped him put together a tune-up. how much help, i don't know, thats not my business. not to take anything away from boggs, i dont think anyone will debate his abilities, but to doubt tom's ability to manage and add to the combination is foolish. yes there's a learning curve, but come on, give 'the man' some credit. i know he has alot of hours on the flow bench this year with nitro pumps...

    I am trully amazed by some comments. It always seems that If a Conway tuned car does well there is something wrong with that.

    There isnt anything wrong with that Conway is an awesome guy and if the tune up he got from Boggs works then why not use it on other cars he'd be crazy not to.

    I know Boggs came up with his own A-fuel tune-up, he didn't buy it. I guess if you want to be competitive without a long learning curve buying it is the way to go. No disrespect meant to Cannon or Conway or Shelly or anyone else. They are all great racers and make this class more competitive. Good luck to all.

    alot of great help from automan & very well prepared cars, & equip, all makes a great combo
    thats been very repeatable , for conways new found a-fuel success, but its still not as easy as he makes it look , alot of hard work, and alot of patience, a fuel cars will make a grown man cry!!!most run out of time, money ,before they find that low 5.30 run @ 270 mph conway caught on very quick ,

    ...and if the tune-up Boggs received from Darien who recieved a tune-up from XYZ who received a tune-up from ZYX who recieved a tune-up from...Who was first to burn nitro?...works, why not use it.

    Didn't Bill used to run a Newberry BAD engine? Buying is definitely the way to go. No disrespect intended to Bill.

    There are only 16 spots, so some top cars will DNQ. If, for any reason, there is less than 4 shots, more than a few top cars will DNQ.
