Hi Ron, wow .001 decided whether or not Jimmy would go on and inch closer to passing Rick Decker. Rick should buy Byron Worner a thick juicy steak for him bringing his "A Game" to that race, because Jimmy brought his, and was just .003 short in rt, plus the breakout extra thou--I wish we could see video footage of that, because I bet it was as close as the closest Pro Stock races we've seen on tv. I told you guys that he's one of the best at driving those super-fast Super Stockers, and he proved it---just was a bit less lucky than Byron...that just gave me more reason to look forward to 2009's season, because I'm ready to also show that my finish out here this year wasn't a fluke either 31st out of 139 Div. VII (and actually tied for 29th), with a front-wheel drive stocker no less!
I like this forum, and I'm honored to be included in it. Because I go to these races to race Stock, but watch Super Stock. I may be a Chevy racer, but I'm a Mopar guy in disguise (give me a late sixties Dart, or a 63-67 Belvedere, Savoy, Fury, or Coronet--like Bob Marshalls or even Vic Hobbs), and look out!!! I ran an 11sec car once, but it was a short wheelbase Corvette and it got squirrely after I got into high gear...give me a longer wheelbase and some test & tunes, and look out! I may have to be like Jody Lang and Skip Loeffler who race slower stockers, but race much faster Super Stockers (especially Skip and his SS/AH car)!
Congrats to Rick, and I hope he runs that #1 proud throughout 2009!!!
