I know that on 2 occasions that a fellow stocker racer dialed up almost 1/2 second against me and about 2/3 way down the track put a 1/2 fender on me and whomped it the rest of the way down the track. The second time that he did that against me I felt like driving right into the side of him. Yea, he beat me both times but the experience was very valuable to my toolbox.
Let's hear some others.

I had a guy do that againt me a few years ago at the Maple Grove All Ford race. I hadn't got to the point in the staging lanes yet where dials couldn't change, so I got out of my car and dialed mine up a tenth so I had some in the bag too. When he caught me and started whomping the throttle, I started whomping my throttle. Apparently he didn't know what to do then, so he let me cross first and I won.

Okay, it is a new year and I may as well get started. What ever happened to racing to the finish line. And everyone wants to know why no spectators want to watch drivers standing on the brakes at 1000 foot and hear the driver on and off of the throttle. I was at a track near the end of the year and was watching the eliminators along with some others on the fence. All of the sudden the brake lights came on and how that guy kept from siding the tires we could not figure out. NHRA, let's go back to setting a national record for the class and everyone in that class race on that record.
