Although financial reasons play a big part, I like the challenge racing a FWD vehicle brings, and this year like 1990, 2006, & 2012, I had success with a front runner.

Quite true for me .......Billy - I'm not convinced that either slow or fast cars have an advantage with Tru-Start .

I can agree with that Jack. BUT, another one of the great ironies of our sport is the "first-or-worst" rule. It applies to everything BUT the "first-or-worst" red light. Why is that?

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Good job by all of my Horsepower Challenged Brothers. It ain't easy bein' slow.
