Billy Nees the rednecks just started partying

Been there and almost done that..
I was at Douglas, WY the week before the Mile High Nats in 2002 and didn't make a pass that was worth a scrap.
I get to race Donnie Beeler in the first round. I still was working on the car to find an 8000 foot tune. So I dial the car at the slowest pass that I had made, figuring I could always slow it down. So I get about a 1 second head start and as I leave the line, I say to myself that it felt pretty good. So I'm looking in the mirror after I get into high gear and I can't find him..
I finally find him and he had broke about 100' out, so I just get off the gas and I am coasting toward the finish line..
All of a sudden the light bulb comes on and I don't have a clue what my car would run.
I slam on the brakes and run right on my dial in..
I figure that if I broke out, Beeler would still be laughing about it..
It's just one of the many ways to beat yourself..
