Yeah, I'm a ham & egger! I went up against the #2 qualifer in the first round. I tree'd him pretty hard. I was trying to get him to have to run it out, so he would break out. That pass he was on a low 8.40 pass, but he lifted before the stripe.

I wish I could have pulled that 8.84 pass out of the hat during qualifying! Then I wouldn't have went up against the #2 guy. I was having problems with hooking up all day (tires are smoked). It was funny, a pulled into the staging lanes and pulled up to a drag radial guy. When I got out of my car he looked at my tires and "J.C. man, don't you think you need new tires!?" LOL

I took a chit load of timing out of first gear to get it moving (didn't want to give it away by blowing off the tires). Oh well that's racing! I drove from the Jersey shore to cecil and back and had great time...and I didn't forget about your lunch Jack!

See if you were 1/8th mile racing you would have had him...

It's all about the driver in the 1/8th, you can't rely on turbos or big power to always get the win...

Congrats Brian on the fun weekend!

If it was the 1/8 or 1/4 he would have had me. Hard to beat an 8.20 car for an 8.50 index. The driver is a 19 year old kid whose got mad skills!

I forgot to mention that Lil Jack and I were all set up to race and when I tripped the lights and went onto the transbrake the car pushed thru the lights. When I got back, I discovered that I blew the transbrake fuse! Phuckin' cars!!!!!!!! LOL
