Barry,
What did the big guy go and do now?

I am out of touch. Up here in Virus Central in Seattle area this weekend.

Just hoping they will let me back into Oregon.

Driving the stripe should be in slow motion at 100 mph after racing at 195 mph these past few years...

Thanks guys. The class I was running was a 13.0 index. You are not racing the other car and reaction times did not matter. Closest to the index over three runs was the winner. My car runs 12.50 flat-out it was interesting to try and hit that 13.0 seems like I couldn't slow it down enough it took a lot I was lifting at the thousand foot mile per hour block. And also put some extra weight in the trunk. Ended up with a 13.10 average and that was good enough. It was actually lots of fun.

The class was called Hemi shootout free entry for late model Hemi cars. I got to run against Leah Pritchett and her Demon one hit.

It was a damn good thing reaction times didn't matter, .400 pro tree 12-second footbrake car shallow staging and 20 in wheels, a good light is not going to happen. I was .42x on the tree all day.

Oh absolutely almost a hundred miles an hour slower and 9 seconds more time to think about it.

Kind of felt like I was running on a half-mile long track

That's awesome. Sounds like a lot of fun.

That was a short retirement.

The guy that won the 10.0 class had an average of 10.008, and so did the 2nd and 3rd place guys...…. Eek
