    Ok....bad news: I was runner up in Ultra Stang this past weekend in Topeka. Killed her on the tree: My .019 vs. her .107. But that damned convertible thought we were out on a Sunday cruise I guess. I had a 15.82 index and it decided that a 15.947 was in order. PJ Justus decided she needed an 11.861 on an 11.86 index to win.....and she was right. You know.....I'm glad to see this woman get a win this season since her first pass down a drag strip was the Friday night of our season opener in Orlando. I'm just not wild about her first win coming at my expense!!! :huh:

    Now....good news: The #2 guy in the points race was a no-show. I am officially the first Ultra Stang World Champion for Fun Ford Weekend. :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman

    But I'm still ticked about losing the final. :mad:
