Wish I would met Mr Pinkerton when at 42 a couple weeks ago...Next time for sure.

I came looking for you Saturday but decided that rig was way too long to walk up and knock on the door with my PA Turnpike ticket book.

I am sure you will be back up around September. I think there is a 2nd race at 42 and then 10 Grander at Norwalk the week before.

Yep. I hope he is smiling about that. He never stopped lobbying for "A worse red light option".

Steve called it "Worst Red Light" others have called it True Start. He had been advocating for this program since the 90's. He sent information about this program to all the makers of timing systems that dealt with drag racing. You would be surprised which person wrote back and said nobody wants that program.

Id be willing to guess it’s someone that’s getting some financial benefit from it...


Dan

True start is not being used for the reason Steve wanted it

Being used for exactly what Steve advocated for---worst red light loses, true start whatever you call it the end result is the same.

Don,

Thanks for correcting the uninformed people because you are correct. Steve's program is online at Draglist.com. His program was also put in Bracket racing USA magazine, Becky Whites newspaper and other magzines.

Where have you been, Don?

What tracks are you visiting for the rest of the year?

Brenda

This year, Gainsville, Darlington, Rockingham, and Wilksboro-----leaving for Tonys race at the Rock right now. Keeping busy.

Don, probably go to Super Chevy. Hope to see you then.

Brenda

Did you have much damage from Hurricane Frances?You have property in many places....How did you "make out" with the rain, wind and floods?

Where is your next race? Steve is being inducted into Farmington's HALL OF FAME. Mark Joyce sent me word to try to come there for the race and at 3pm on Saturday, Sept 29, there will be some racers inducted then. I don't know who else??

Brenda

The Amazing Jim McComb. Missed his announcing this year at Sonoma. RIP Jim
