LOL...it wasn't quite that late, but the sun was beginning to set. The problem was I had a two bottle warmer and we were getting into round robin rounds, not leaving much time to change bottles. Ray and Larry had just changed the bottle before that run...unbeknownst to me at the time with one that was not in the warmer. I had the system tuned to stage with 1000-psi line pressure...and after one pass it would drop to 900-925. This bottle was just under 900 when I staged, so I crossed my fingers and hoped...didn't work (LOL). Now here's the funny part, especially knowing what fuel prices are today. I got $75 for going that many rounds, which was just enough gas money to get home and leave about $5 in my pocket. Had I not went those rounds, I would have been borrowing some gas money from someone, as I tapped the bank account out on that driveshaft I had to get made in Akron on Friday (LOL) and the plastic was hurting too (LOL). 425 miles on just $70 worth of gasoline...but that's when it took about $35 to fill up the tank (LOL)...can't do that today!
