Asta,

I have raced Super Gas. Well, it was Super Rod in IHRA cus we couldn't afford to take Fridays off.

Stock may not have its share of staging battles, but running footbrake in our area does.

You may call it intense, but its just part of driving to me. I don't care what class we are running, if you decide you want to stage last... you will either go in first, or we will both go home.

Im not going to say who it was against, but my father had the duel of the century when I was like 12 a US13. They got backed out of the tree twice, and the third time the opponent failed himself and went right in. I do believe he even got you once at the grove when you were in a habit of getting in first.
