Default I gave a Wally away last night.

I got down to 3 cars last night and had Rick (Probird) beat by a half a car and brokeout. Congrats on to Rick for winning his 2nd Wally and King of the track last night. I think I would atleast get the hat for giving it to him.

PS: I would think he would give you the money since he wants the trophy.

If you had to give it away, guess you couldn't have given it to a nicer guy!
Who had the .123???
I won a final once where I had like a .110 to his .025 (something like that) and broke him out and lost one once against a rail with me having a perfect bulb (.000) to a .035 with me breaking out and him dead on with a .001. It happens.

Rick did, he was sleeping Big time. I lost him on the big end, he was in my bind spot. I was thinking he was going to be coming around. But my Rookie mistake is I'm just as fast as him now.

Congrats to both! At Norwalk last week, my neighbor was running S/Pro. One round he was .200 to the other guys .000. The other guy ran out, bet he wasn't happy when he read the time slip.

I tried to give it to him but he wouldn't take it. Lol! Keiths light wasn't all that stellar either. He was .060. We don't have blinders on the tree and he was dialed 6.07 to my 5.98 and I got to watching both sides of the tree at the same time. I completely lost focus and knew I was way late. I hid in his blind spot all the way down the track. I was waiting for him to dump me at the finish line but he just freight trained it right out the back door. I was hoping to run Keith in the final instead of the semi's. That would have been a lot more fun.

Keith did good as he took out the points leader 3rd round. After going to Norwalk last weekend I got 51 points behind him in 2nd place. That allowed me to get back within 9 points of him after last night. The points for the division 3 bracket finals in Indy stop next weekend so I need to go 1 more round than him to represent our track in the Race of Champions.

Jason- the car was on a string last night so I didn't need to hold any numbers. I get myself in trouble when I know I may be holding a couple so it was nice to have a car and a track that was working flawless. I never changed the dial-in all night. It ran 5.98 9 out of 10 rounds and the 10th one was a 5.992. I had a couple of lucky rounds when I needed them but in the final for the Wally I was .009 to the other guys .035. It was a great night of racing.

I got to figuring up the points from last night. I was wrong. It was a 7 round race so I actually took over the points lead by 1 point. Thanks keith!!

Great job guys. Love the bracket racing jargon which we don't see much of on this site.
