In a manner of speaking.. No disrespect to John who's cars I love and he certainly can drive but as I recall he was driving one of Brett Hyjack's CJ's. John had the faster car every round and 4 or 5 opponents went red. One broke on the start line, he had one bye and only one round required him to run someone down and get on the brakes for the win. Some days it's just your turn and this was obviously Johns. A win is a win but he got a lot of help on the way.

Manner of speaking ?? I don't think so ... he won the Winternationals fair and square --- not by hook or crook or being lucky . Drivers like Mr.Calvert earn respect and he certainly has mine ...........And you should know that putting yourself into a position to win is key -- and he did that as always ! !

When several people go red against you, there's usually a reason.................

That is because Calvert is a well known racer who tends to go rounds no matter what he is driving. I think lining up beside him or any other of the more sucessfull racers would be cause for cutting the light a little more tight than usual.................

That was my point. It was pretty obvious, I really didn't see a need to spell it out.

Alan, I know you are aware of this and I've said it on this forum before...
fact: the faster car has the advantage.... period. Having one of the fastest cars in the eliminator is a perfect example of what Jack said in one of the previous posts..... "And you should know that putting yourself into a position to win is key -- ".
