$50,000 World Footbrake Challenge - Page 2

The competition was nuts down there this year. I watched all day Saturday, and it was very impressive.

Check me on this Michael, but I do believe the worst winning reaction time at 8 cars was like .005 or .006, around there.

What if we do a 100.00 to enter 100% payback gamblers race on Friday after like 7th round of the race. Ill bet I could talk to Jarad and make it happen. Email me if you are interested I know 3 already that are in.

Worst winning reaction time .005/.006...Man I thought you footbrake guys couldnt be competitive aginst a button. Only button guys can cut lights like that! Or maybe.......stocker guys can take advice from the bracket guys. It only proves that gettin rid of the button wont make a difference!

Can you enter the "Footbrake Race" with your Stocker if you have your two-step button mounted on the brake pedal per 2008 NHRA rules,or is this still not considered Footbraking?

>> Man I thought you footbrake guys couldnt be competitive aginst a button.

Don't look at me. I've noted on several occassions that I've whacked my share of Box cars over the years. That doesn't mean that Stock should allow delay boxes. I think the World Footbrake Challenge showed that it's not so much Footbrakers crying about 2-steps, but 2-step guys crying that they can't race without them! Props to Lee Zane and the other scant few that bothered to show up to support one of the best races ever contested.

2-steps are not permitted. I'm sure you could just disconnect the button, but double-check with Jared Pennington or Steve Stites, the race promoters.

And 'oh by the way' even Scotty Richardson was nothing but .040's for the first four rounds on Saturday of the WFC. Bogacki was stuck in the .030's until the late rounds Friday night. Lee Zane *started* going Deep on *Sunday* (and had three double-oh's in a row then... but of course they don't allow deep staging in Stock anymore...)

There were a lot of great lights in the late rounds, and that's the stuff people remember, but I was announcing all weekend. I can tell you that almost the entire field struggled mightily with the tree. Just a hunch, but based on what I was seeing out of drivers that I know well, seemed like the rollout was about .03 loose from what most people were used to. I'd say Chris Plott probably had the best average over the course of the weekend.
