    The air was fairly poor. I ran a best of 11.78, about 2 tenths off its usual. I believe Jim Allen went 11.60 and then 10.30 spraying it.

    Not a word about my first pass. What goes on at the track stays at the track

    :( We did not leave home till mid afternoon on Thursday :(
    Schedules and plans prevented us from making it to the track.

    Oh I agree most of the time I would rather be racing than watching, but if I had a chance to watch a bunch of the quick mavericks/comets run , It would be worth just watching...

    Hey! I ran the car this year. :yup: Just remember what you said - what happens at the track STAYS at the track. :rofl2:

    I've got some video, but not at the track. Matt took some video I think.

    Sometimes when your in the staging lanes waiting to race, you miss all the action. I missed 3 wrecks at the local track, had i been watching maybe id know the track was slippery(even in the groove), but no... i had to be behind the tower waiting for them to flag me forward, and wow, what a ride.
