This was the 4 day averages for Daily Driver leading into Friday. Obviously the goal was to get in the quick 32 and have a shot at winning the class in the bracket race, but to assume anything below that doesn't matter would be very naïve. The way we were running the Satellite on spray, and fighting with shifting on time, I was very unlikely that we would do well in the bracket race, but I desperately wanted to finish faster than the three cars just ahead of me. Alex is the 16 year old girl, Eli lives in my Dad's hometown, and Bobby hangs out on the same Bang Shift forum, so bragging rights were at stake! Dale started wrenching on Boone's Truck when he returned after his first run, because they had decided to jet up since the mph was down, but I was trying to get him to concentrate on getting ready to run the Satellite as soon as they switched over to the DD staging lanes. "Look", I implored him, "We need between 11.50 and 11.62 to get to an 11.895 average, so you have very little margin for error!" "Don't worry, we'll get it", he assured me as he fished in the jet box. "Not only that, but you know they are going to want the time slips turned in early so they can set the ladder, that means we'll only have two hours at the most!" "I know, I know!" He shrugged.
