ron....i like to go up at the end.....call it what you want........and if you notice, i do the same thing every run......who am i trying to throw off their game by coming up last in a qualifying session....and furthermore if you are the last car to run there is a shot at a single....which i happen to like...

I ran the open @ Atco this past weekend in superstreet. First time trial of the day I went up 4th car back and ran 11 flat (lost .05 in 60'). Second time trial and the following two rounds of eliminations ran @ the rear and was dialed in "ok" (60' came back). Third round sunday morning there were only seven cars left ... lost .07 in 60'( could not stay back). Lollygagger this!
(I know ...should have assumed track was not hooking yet and compensated). |

I understand the strategy of going last-we try to do it all the time in comp-the big problem is that others do as well, so it's up to the officials to do something about it. What I hate is that D1's designated pairs are chosen on the based of points-those with the least get to go first, so those with the most never have to go first. So look at the points standings and you'll know about whom I'm talking, Now I've owned up to being an offender-it used to drive Lee Zane and Brian Van Poppel nuts that we wanted to wait and sometimes would say to hell with it they would go up anyways.

Mike and Gary all my anatomy is in very good working order. Gary come by some time and introduce yourself, please don't be shy. I am the racer that has a pink car and large brass ones.
Mike, name calling from the champ -- I feel so honored. I don't care when you qualify. Not coming when called to race shows rudeness and lack of manners. |

Tony Cowell, Ed Wright, and myself race each other to the staging lanes when SS is called. That's just our preference. I raced Slate on sunday at the Crandall race a few weeks ago and I got there way before he did. He also runs a stocker so it's expected. No big deal. Turns out i wish he wouldn't have heard the call because he whooped me good. Ed

Beard,
Do you remember when you were driving my car @ Milan Mi. ?? Who we waited and waited for in the back of the lanes?? Remember how my dial-in-game paid off? I felt it was only fair to "Get even", or close to it. I remember you got so pumped up thinking the car wouldn't run those numbers. It did! You might not have known what I was doing, but I was working my driver and the other driver. Now that was a fun day.. :~)
