Default Re: Where's Paul Harvey with "The rest of the story" ???

Um, in case I hadn't made my opinion clear enough before: I'D RACE.

Been a long time since I've raced family. When I was in high school, just getting started in the trophy class, dad and I raced a lot. Dad was the only driver that had a winning record against me, and I won the championship. "Golly, shouldn't dad have helped me win?" NO. I earned my way. A couple of years later, dad ran Heavy Eliminator for the first time, and with 68 cars, the lanes got shuffled, and somehow we ended up getting paired first round. He beat me by .004. Somehow, I've never told that story with the addition of "but I was in the points and he wasn't so he should've let me win!" NO.

When I won the Stock World Championship in 2003, I didn't need anybody to lay down for me, and no one did.

I missed winning the Summit Super Series at Pageland Dragway last week by one round. Someone could've given me that round, but it would've been BS, and that would've been cheating the real champion out of a position that he EARNED.

Since so many people want to play the "What if?" game... Let's say YOU are leading the points, and a "team" dives their way to pass you by one round. You get to look on, knowing that there's a 100% chance that you're going to lose the title.

$.02,
