    Well I'm still trying to make the finals but I made the top twelve again today running in pro bracket at Bremerton Raceway. The mav was running 12.70's all day but the driver wasn't . I messed up on the timeing on my first gear shift and the car nosed over before I could hit second and I lost by less than two feet ( ya I know 1/2" or 1/2 mile loosing is loosing ) Some day I will get it right and get past the top 12 and make it to the quarters or better, but for now at least I wasn't last. I have improved my reaction time a bunch from the start of the season. I was consistantly running over .300 in rt but now I am cutting .030-.065 lights, still not the best but ALOT better.

    Good deal. Congratulations. The more seat time you get the more consistent you'll be.(y)
