x2 for Harry from me too Lane, but you're a hero also for how great you did in '96, with an even slower roller!!!

Bringing 'em back alive today.....

Since this thread's pause, Gary Hampton has won a Div. 7 race and a local S/SS combo,...So I've got you covered here, Gary.
Now, moving on...Lots of talk about predicting the dial -in here, but not much discussion on the first big factor that's necessary....I don't mean luck ,either ;-)

Post Re: Misconception on a slow stocker winning

reading these posts reminds me of my alltime favorite pass. I was running the u/sa monte carlo at the gateway nats a few years back. When I got in car in staging lanes I forgot I had my cell phone in front pocket. As it was in the way of fastening my harness I just took it out and threw it in the pass seat.When I was going down.the . track I had just shifted into high gear when phone rang. I picked it up and said I'm racing now and threw it back in the seat. At the scales a tech guy came up and said someone had said I was talking on the phone going down the track.When I said yeah Idid it he said now I've heard it all,Don't do that again. AS i drove off he was still shaking his head

I am no expert but recently purchased a slow car to run stock. It has won lots of rounds and beat some really good fast cars. Never won a race. I really don’t have expectations to set the world on fire but to be competitive and win some rounds. Let’s face it most have never won a points race or a national event regardless of the class they run

Put a small enough tire on anything and, no matter how old you are you will cut a light!

I won at the end of the season with my P/SA wagon. A few 8 and 9 second cars in the mix.
