On Sat night I moved into 1st place in the points series. Maryland International Raceway (MIR), Modified ET class (footbrake - no electronics).

Going into the night, I was in 3rd place with 420 points. The 1st and 2nd place racers were tied with 422 points. We get 10 points for each round win, and 1 extra point for overall win of the night (11 points final round). So they each won 2 races this year, and I haven't won any, but I did have just as many round wins.

In first round, both the 1st and 2nd place racers lost! So they get 20 points for making the show.
In the second round, I was paired againts the 4th place racer who was behind me by 10 points. This is how it went:

Him _ Me
9.07 9.34 Dial-In
.048 .033 Reaction Time
9.068 9.342 ET
146.3 139.0 mph (I braked slightly ~1.5 mph)

Right lane (Me) crossed first by 0.0114. Looks like I closed it up nicely.

Unfortunately, I red lighted in the 3rd round with a -0.006
But I am happy to be in first place by 18-20 points from the next 3 racers and I think 40 from the 5th place racer. My unofficial talley:

1st: 460
2nd: 442
3rd: 442
4th: 440
5th: 420
6th: 411
7th: 400
