Quoting and DOING are two different stories. In all things we find both positive and negative people. I feel the positive people tend to have more fun.

2. We'd kill it!

Then bring it....

Be careful of what you ask for.

I will never forget how surprised I was when I finally met Toby Lang at Seattle in the early 90s. He showed me the thick notebook containing ladder combinations for various numbers of cars in the field. It was absolutely something I'd neve considered in my heads up days but thought it was genius.

The only time I'd seen one before was in the tower being used by race control.

Yes, they were(are) very good racers but I'm sure that 1) keeping track of things like this and 2) having the minds to realize it was a factor affected their racing. History proves it out.

Anthony Bertozi is the best i ever saw at landing on the sheet. So that tells me that qualifying is pretty important.

I saw Anthony and Labbous 2 years ago in Brainerd. The final session of
T/D qualifying. Anthony's car was so far back in the lanes you couldn't
see it. The 2 of them were up by the start line watching every car make
its final hit. Anthony was purposely qualified last. If I remember correctly,
he ended up with a bye 1st round & another one in the semi's. Make no
mistake, in between he had to do the job, and he did. But, most of his competitors had to win 5 rounds, Anthony had to win 3. Anthony had
to do 60% of the work of his final round competitor. So, smart, good,
and a hell of a chef. Unbeatable combo at any race!
