Jay Weir of Killer Customs and his crew will be there trying there best. Cliff (grabber71 ) ,you going down today or real early friday morning ,maybe you could hook up with Jay ,there staying in the pits in there motorhome and there would be room for you ,this way we could keep all the mavericks corraled in the pits in one place.. Jimmy ps do you all like the truck lid graphics ,and my sponsers on the quarters. Im going to do a show room paint job on this one next spring so i didnt mind the decals on it for this years pinks .
Cliff is coming down tonight. Should arrive at my place around 8ish. I can't make it tomorrow (Friday). Have to work. I already purchased my tickets for both days (bummer). I'm in the seats behind the burnout area. Looking forward to Saturday.... Good luck to you both.... Lets see a Maverick make it to the 32....

Damn!!! Wish I was there with mine! Two blue Grabbers is cool! Three would be totally awesome!!! Glad you guys are having a great time.
Good luck to you guys hope you at least one of u guys make it so we can see another mav on the show! I had alot of fun at the one in sonoma even though i didnt make the 32 i was show racing some car painted orange like a tiger in the time trials(he ended up smoking me lol) but i had a great time and wish my car would be done in time for pinks all out in bakersfield but theres no way
Well i just heard from Jay ,he thanked me for the opportunity to race my car ,he said it was one of the best times he has ever had at the track,as usual pinks chose a 10:00 to 10:50 class . Jay informed me that the car is getting faster and faster on every pass, he made it to the finals in his class with a best time of 11:77. Jay claims the car was leaving so hard he has some pics of the front tires off the ground and he says he would not be suprised if the car made the highlight reel for the wheelie and the very impressive burnouts.Ill be looking forward to seeing Jay at my shop tomorrow around noon as i am putting Bev (Grabbergirl719) engine and tranny in her car tomorrow, cheers Jimmy :HandshakeP.S im very happy that the mavericks made a GREAT showing for our community.
