Mike Edwards lost in the semi-finals during the NHRA CSK Nationals but
he couldn't stop smiling. Today marked the finest hour for his
fledgling in-house engine program.
"I tell you what, it's a blessing to come out here and (make it to the semis) this early in the season," Edwards said. "We've got a lot of new things going on and a lot of things we don't exactly know what to do with, but we just keep working on them and see if we can pick it up. We're not where we want to be by any means, but it's a good day and hopefully we can build on this and get better.

"I want to say thanks to all of my guys; they just did an awesome job today. Our whole team, I'm just really proud of them. We brought Terry (Adams) on this year and he's just really taken a load off of me. We can bounce things off of each other and he's really helped me. And my guys have been with me, I guess, it's been about six or seven years and they're just steady as clockwork. I have no doubt whatsoever with what they are doing, so I have a lot of confidence in my team."
Edwards took the ambitious step in the off-season of developing an in-house engine program and is pleased with the progress the team is making.
"Just from the first race to here, the engine program has already made a giant leap," Edwards said. "It showed with us doing better on race day. When you don't have to fight other issues, when you can just race the track and adjust your car to the track, it makes it a whole lot easier."
