Don't be embarrassed. I took my 68 LeMans to the track for a big Stock Appearing drags event. It was very hot/humid (excuses already) and I only ran 15.39. HOWEVER, I ran 15.39 ALL DAY LONG! I dialed in at 15.38 and advanced all 8 rounds to take the full event, winning by .011! (I was cutting REALLY good lights too ;-)) I even started to calm down enough to step on the brakes when the other guy spun the tires so I wouldn't break out (hence the 15.55 run).

I got two nice trophies and was featured in several magazines! Time of my life. Oh, and because it was my first return to the track in 20 years, that 15 seconds was the most exciting 15 in a long time!

Watch the day here:
