Thanks James, Pros were supposed to start at 10AM. Its very humid out with some mist in the air. There might be a chance of rain in the next half hour, but then it should start to clear out. As I type at 10:05 AM Fuel cars are in the lanes and the Nationals Anthem is being sung.

It's been a hotly discussed topic in the past, but stock final (Reading) sure looked like excessive braking by one of the cars at the finish line on NHRA.tv ?

Congrats to Joe Santangelo Jr and Crew Chief Joe Sr. on their well-deserved Stock Eliminator win!

If the tires aren't smoking, it's not excessive braking!

Jack & Ken, thank you for all of the coverage of the "Keystones". Also Ken congrats on your R/U in stock. You said on your roll-in vid you usually don't do well at the Grove,well you turned that around. Keep Micro Strategies on a roll.

"Dumping" it in the lights is a very common practice, which many racers, including me, have done to win rounds. However, if you are so committed to either not taking the stripe, or taking less, that you hit the brakes so hard that the car gets out of shape, that's a bit excessive. That being said, I have yet to win a race at a national or divisional level, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Geeeezzzzz Ken, beat yourself up a little more. It’s going to happen again. We can’t win every race. I lost 3 final round national events before I got the first win. Yes it hurts but only one other person wouldn’t trade places with you, muppet head!
