Jim, I'm with you and Art on the above comments...they give me more motivation to beat those very type of race cars when I can, and lately I've had my share of fun moments. However my most memorable two are :
1. The Camaro racer who raced me in the first round of the '98 Mile High's...he caught me around the 800-1000ft mark, and clicked his motor off so as to coast across the finish line ahead of me. However, the big Winston Vision screen showed me pulling on him because I refused to lift just because he passed me, and I took the stripe by .003!!! I wonder how much crow that guy was eating the rest of that day???
2. Even though Ryan McClanahan & Scott Burton were the finalist's at the '06 Mile High's, it was my fwd Cavalier that had the best package of eliminations (.006), by virtue of running a 16.664 on my 16.66 index/dial, and having a .002rt against my friend Tony Hernandez's '65 Corvette 327V8 11sec. machine. I wish I could rewind my race with Ryan in the quarters, because I had a perfect cool down for my car after the race with Tony, but I was starting to feel light-headed and needed water. Much to my dismay, just as I drove the 1/2 mile back to the north-40 of Bandimere, they called me to the lanes and I warmed my plenum too much, which slowed the car down .13. I know that some who read this will say that excuses are like ..........., but since he crossed the line only .014 over his dial, and came by me pretty fast, I'm certain I would've broke him out if I stayed cooler...I wish for a rematch!!!
