Thanks guys, I pulled one out when I needed it.

We won't get affected by the hurricane too much. Just get wet and some gusty winds when one of the outer bands move through.

Brian call me a dreamer but , if Nick breaks after teching and you win that day I believe you can catch him. I have not heard the fat lady sing as of yet ...... so it must not be over....

The updated points are not posted yet, but best I can figure, Chaz is leading the points right now, he has me by 507 and Nick leads me by 467. With 500 points awarded for a win, IF Chaz were to not qualify (very slim chance of that) I still would be able to catch him with a win and the small points for qualifying position, I would also need for Nick to not qualify, that actually might happen, it's going to be a very fast field, there are three fast cars coming that weren't at the last race.

Bottom line is, the fat lady has not yet sung, but she is clearing her throat...……….

Overall it's been a good season, no matter how it shakes out. Remember, I broke at two races and couldn't make first round. With one of those being a DNQ Super Angry

Moe, it was a great package!!! I can not understand how you can wheel race at that low ET....and better than that how you tighten the stripe like that..... dang Brian needs to go Big Buck racing and drive home with some life changing CASH..... Right

And I have never won taking a .0001 stripe, but have gave it back and lost by .0001 more than once....LMAO

I wish I could say I tightened it up to .0001, I did the math and it was 5/16" at the stripe. Nobody is that good. I did kill 2 mph from my previous run and my data shows I lifted at 3.70, but that is pretty much right at the stripe. If I would have lifted at 3.60 or so, it would still have been a good race, but the W would be in the other lane. I made a good pass, and was lucky too.

I just glad I did it when I needed it, not wasted it when the other guy was red...….

Now, about my package...……. Stop
