I want to be sure and recognize "Fast" Fred and Mark Tigges for their performance this past weekend at the IHRA North American Nationals in Epping, NH. Fred from Holbrook, MA set the IHRA TAFC World record running a 5.702@245.94 in the final round of qualifying Saturday evening. All of us at Follow a Dream Racing would like to give you guys a big High Five ! Congratulations you worked hard for it!

Mark: Thanks for the plug, and congratulations! Dad was pretty excited to hear what you guys ran this weekend. Keep up the good work.

 

What an awesome run that was. Congrats to Fred, Mark, Claire, Tom Pickett and the rest of the crew. Keep after it.

 

Brad does your dad have an all new blower out right now. I have not heard much. That was a huge performance by Tigges. I saw the performance of Sickles and Atchison (the week before) an assumed that they were all running the new PSI roots. You know what happens when you assume things.
You look like an a..

 

I know Atch was running the new PSI blower and sickles had either a littlefield or a kobelco on the car, I am sorry i cant remember which it was.

 

Dean, we don't have one all-new design, just constant tweaks and modifications here and there that seem to work. After years of doing so with good feedback, that can amount to a lot. We're just fortunate to have one of our blowers on a great car with a great tune-up and a great driver running in great conditions. I don't know what Sickles has, but I don't think it's one of ours. Back on topic, congrats again to the Tigges team!

 

Great Run Mark, its nice to see the local guys running numbers like that, let alone getting to set the et record at home!

 

Let me tell you folks that weren't there how it really happened ..... Freddy was about a 1/10th or so quicker than the car was before he even sat in it ! Thursday Night at the Coors Light festival in his Pit area - He was (1) getting a screw blower , (2) quitting racing not smart enuf , (3) helping Tom Pickett next year ,(4) tired of the B.S these sanctioning bodies give us , (5) last but not least he was "NOT" running out of BEER ! ..... So all of the above became false and when he woke up in the Morning Mark and Dave Burch (sober ones) had figured it all out.
They did have an awesome car and made great strides for all of their current and Potential Sponsors . They are great people and we have a lot of fun with them .
So sad they are too busy next year to do but 3 races or so ..... sure gonna miss them (SMILE) NOT !

Congrats, Atchison Racing.

 

THIS IS ONE BAD HOT ROD,THE TIGGES FAMILY ARE GREAT PEOPLE,I AM REALLY GLAD I WAS THERE.HOPE TO SEE EVERYBODY AT M.I.R.
