Thanks Adam! I must have missed this post. Thank you all.
This race win qualified me to go to the IHRA World Finals in Holly Springs, MS. To qualify you have to be a track champion, win a division bracket finals or win one of these Sportsman Spectacular races. The World finals were last weekend with 61 racers in Mod. I lost at 4 cars to last years World Champion. He was .0014 on the tree and .010 off of his dial to my .016 light. I was mathematically ineligible. We had a great time.

Yep,, great job at world finals, and he turned around and won the no box side at the last Midstate Lucky 7's race of the season at Central Illinois Dragway this past weekend. Very impressive, almost sad the season has come to an end when you get rolling like he is!
