I figured he set up for a soft light, figuring I was one of those "non-driving sport compact aces". 89 mph difference at the strpe. I think the car rocked like a boat when he went by.
Geez Mike -- All this time I thought Cross-Talk is when you and the Mrs. were having a discussion and one of you is pissed ....................

LOL Jack, that could be. As I understand it, when couple's get older, the only sex they have is "hallway sex". That's when they look at each other as they pass in the hall way and yell "Screw you!".

Another 'back in the day' ...... I was running U/SA against Phil Cerrone SS/AA hemi Cuda at New England during a S/SS race. 15.16 vs 9.48! He went by me so fast I almost got out of my car because I thought I stopped!

2 years ago big bracket race at Pacific. I was driving my brothers bracket wagon running 13.80s @ 97mph. Paired with an alcohol dragster that ran 6.90 @ 195!!!! He sat on the full tree a bit, i took a huge stripe, but had it dialed way hard good for the 1st round win. Crazy!!!

Back about 25+ years ago there was a guy from up north that ran a brown corvair in IHRA production superstock. He used to run some of the races at Darlington, Rockingham, and Bristol. I don't recall the E.T.'s but he got some pretty good spots. Don Jackson
