Thats Right ! Joe did win a round against me after he redlighted.
It happened back in the 70's when Big Joe was one of the baddest bracket racers in all the land, and I was just a wanna be racer from Duluth.But after studying the basic principals of bracket racing I was able to appy my knowledge to beat Joe like a redheaded step child and get the win light in several straight races. But on this fateful day at BIR, when it appeared to Joe that he was going to take a 1st round whipping against me again, he decended on me with a verbal assault in which he promised to rip off my head and crap down my neck if I drove up on him, whopped the throttle and won the round again. Well I got soooo intimidated and flustered that I left the starting line with wheels up and the steering wheel cranked a 1/4 turn, thus crossing the centerline right behind Joe when the wheels came down. A painful memory 30 years later.
