After another racer hit our combo the first round of class. I was pissed off and took 100 lbs out for the next round of class and ran 1.264 under, thinking that the next trigger was 1.30 under. As many know we have run our car between 7-8 tenths under for the last 4 years to keep the average down. Only at Indy last year or open races have we held it all the way down. What really sucks for me personally is losing the record that I set a few weeks earlier at Atco because of someone wanted to go to the pole in qualifying.

Hi Rod, it's a shame so many feel the need to Monday morning quarter back. Truth is most of us wish we had that problem of potentially going too fast. It takes lots of hard work and tuning and more work than many would dare to put in to be able to run like you guys. Enjoy the moment and never worry about what others think. It's envy that breeds contempt. The car is bad *** and same for Kenny's car among others. Nice talking to you this weekend and good luck the rest of the season,
