I'm not taking this very seriously.

The point is, Shawn Langdon had a light not much different than the winner of the race you posted.

I'm a fan of both Dave and his father Ray, both as racers and as people. I just have reasonable expectations of what anyone, even Dave, can do with a Top Fuel car on the starting line. I've talked to my friend Scott Palmer about it several times. People a lot smarter than any of us, with a lot more money, have tried for years to figure out how to get lights better than 0.080 on a consistent basis.

I'd love for Dave to go out and lay down a string of 0.040 or better lights and prove me wrong.

But what I really want is to see Dave have a rock solid competitive ride, for a long time to come.
