Anytime you can beat a rail in a bracket race its a good day, they are tough. They start out as a little blip in your rear view mirror , then fly past you near the stripe. Getting that win light against one in the finals is always good.
The 9.0 type are the toughest to beat. Little 550 HP sbc engine, giant tires, they could not blow them off if they wanted too. At least the big boy rails can blow there tires off and can have a issue. They have all the electronics too, take off last, all the advantages. Nice win. |

Mike, I was over from England and Went to Atco Tuesday night. I didn't realise that the GTO I was rooting for all night was you doh. Great racing all night by you and the dragster staging games didn't work haha. Well done Mike I enjoyed watching you.

I don't know what he was doing. His stage light went on and I started bringing the rpms up then his stage light went off so I just backed off the rpms and waited. He might have had a problem thats why he had a bad light. Who knows. I was in a zone all night on the tree so that didn't rattle me.
I am using a trans brake and delay box. I don't get on the 2-step till I release the trans brake button. I do bring the rpms up to about 2000 before I release the button. Seems to go on the 2-step cleaner. |

I have been playing golf for almost 30 yeas and never had a hole in one, You know after the perfect run and the win I played golf the next day and was a 1/2" from a hole in one. I would have been afraid of something bad coming if it went in. Don't want to use up all my luck. Need some for the index race Saturday.

Same here,,,been playing 30+ years and the closest has probably been 18" from the hole on a par 3. Closest at the track has been a .002 package. I hope they at least announced over the intercom that you had just got a perfect run.
