Once at Pomona about 10-12 years ago, Bill had to race Don Little with that same car. He was dialed about a 17.35, Don around a 10.40.After a nearly 7 second head start, Dol left, the chase was on, and Bill's win light came on at the end. The crowd loved it. Bill still races that car at Irwindale in the Summit Series. He's about as nice a guy as you could ask for.

We pitted next to him and he is a nice guy and just as much of a racer as any of the rest of us - he borke out by .004 - had a great light too - the CJ was good by .002 - typical closer drag race

Not to interupt this thread but the Biondo/Fletcher race could be exciting too - even without championship point implications?

Biondo is on his game this year

:-) peace

Good post Bob Shaw! I agree with that being an exciting race. It is one of many things that makes stock racing "way cool".

That definitely was a fun race! I am glad that everyone enjoyed it. If only I had thought to tap the brakes just a little.....

Bill, Good job! Describe the sensation and how you were trying to figure out the strategy as you watched this CJ in your rear-view mirror. Did you feel you had cut a good light as you moved down track?
