1 QUICK Z Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hey Guys and Gals, We were the # 3 draw in the ‘’King of the Strip’’ race series at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Indiana. We were there June 12 through 15. The show will start airing on ESPN 2 every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. beginning July 8 and continue every Sunday for 13 weeks until the champ is crowned. We fought very hard on each of our episodes and WON the first 3 episodes. We broke the axle universal joint in the 4TH episode making us loose that race and that episode. Over all we ran 21 consecutive passes within 30 minuets of each other without even pulling the hood. We have our car.....but you have to watch the show to see how. We received a lot of respect from ESPN, Tommy Johnson, Jr., Melanie Troxel, Tom Abbett (from Mike Ashley’s Crew) and all the other crews about how well we represented our team, ran our Z car, displayed ourselves in our uniforms (best dressed crew there) and how well our Team negotiated for our runs. Anyway much thanks for all your support and help. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Jon1QUICKZ/DSCN1841.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Jon1QUICKZ/DSCN1832.jpg Jon Phillips 1 QUICK Z Phillips Performance 1-423-735-RACE ( Shop ) 1-423-388-0016 ( Cell ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Glad to hear you were able to keep the car Jon. Too bad about the breakage. Of course, with that many passes in such a short time, plus all the stress that they've alreday seen, you're lucky to have only broken one. Hope you had a great time and at least won something other than the experience, although that would have been enough for me. Care to disclose the contents of the trailer?

1 QUICK Z Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Care to disclose the contents of the trailer? Warren, I can't give to much information, everyone will just have to watch the show. I will give you a hint of the value of the contents, $$$107,000.00$$$ Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our Z cars tongue hanging out on all of our passes and was grateful to get that far. We look foward to "Pinks All Out" at Bristol Dragway on July, 20 and 21 and with you guys coming up to race, hopefully we can put both of our Z's into the 16 car field and put on a good show....and hopefully 1 of us WIN!! Tell Jerry to give me a call and come on by my shop for a visit. Thanks Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 QUICK Z Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Congrats Jon!Glad to hear that you were successful in keeping the car.. contents of the trailor sound good too Z-Gad, Yes we were thankfull to get the Z car back:mparty:. It was hard taking it to the impound lot and walking off from it. Everybody will need to tune-in to ESPN 2 on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. starting July 8th to watch the episodes and how we get our Z car back. For more information go to http://www.masterstelevision.com/index.php and click on King of the Strip. Yes it would have been nice to win what was in the trailer and we fought hard to try to win it all, but I'm constantly reminding myself that in order to win I also must be prepared to lose.

LSI 240Z, Yes we went Thursday afternoon to the shops of Don Prudhomme (Snake Racing) home of funny car driver Tommy Johnson Jr. (Skoal Impala SS) and top fuel driver Larry Dixon (SkyTel Dragster), and after that Tom Abbett from Mike Ashley's (Torco Racing Fuels) Funny Car Team gave us a grand tour of their shop.

nitsuj Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Saw the episode today. Man, nice car. I don't know what drug you're on to keep you from choking that lady with the Trans Am, but it must be good. Good luck. Well, I guess you don't need it since the results are in, but, good luck to the past you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey Jon, I watched the 1st episode.... Barney is a whiner. Then watched your 1st episode. Man the lady is a Bit&^. I am glad to see you whip her. Why was she even on the show? To me it is a semi stock car. Nobody wants to see that IMO. Oh well guess we will you and your team at Bristol next Friday.
