    Thanks guys!

    Thanks, it's kinda slow,15.50 @ 92mph 3.00 gears, going through the traps in 2nd gear. C4 stock stall converter. It's got AC though and runs consistent! Oh yeah, we're at 4000' elevation here, it was 100° with a density altitude of 7980' Saturday!

    Thanks! Actually had a lot of luck going my way... my worst light was a .620 and best was a .515. I redlit 2nd round with a .496 so I used my mulligan. Plus I got two bye runs!!! :dance: Talk about luck! The last three cars in the class had all got a bye and I got pulled for the bye again into the final. Final round was vs the '09 Points Champ, (he red lit against me first round got back in). In the final he red lit against me again! It was nice payback, he took me out twice last race!

    That's cool! Consistency is what it's all about! And a bit of luck is always great!!! I had some similar luck last year but only made it to the qtr finals. Unfortunately I had broke my rear end on the race putting me there and I only moved about 10 ft. The poor sucker I was racing didn't know and he broke out!!! :clap:
