Well time to get the alternator fixed and back on the heap. I have to get her ready for the next victim to take her for a few laps, well and work on the other Barracuda. The SCSN is gonna be some fun, cant wait.

Al, Congrats,
You're a far better driver than I, just need a little more seat time against those boys. You had to feel like you were playing with house money after that semi-final: 4 inch stripe while Bycroft was scrubbing 5 to try and back into a 20 mph charge? Gets my blood pumping just looking at the incrementals on that one!!

The final, hey, like Chris said, "Don't beat yourself up", It's a lesson learned, just a shame it came with a wally on the line. When Scott raced that Camaro, it was set-up similar to yours, 1.9X 60ft.s and the booming 115 1/8 mph speed, but Bernie changed all that to position the car further downtrack, closer to the slower cars, and to force the faster cars to reel him in. That tug on the brake at 900ft. is exactly what that set-up is looking for...you had been pulling up on him for darn near half the track, then you give an early tug on the brake, and have to ride out the last 300ft not able to get around...that's a punch to the gut!!
Bernie is a very good driver, but he is the most meticulous and thurough guy when dialing a car that I've ever met, extremely cerebral approach to the game. Like you, he is a part timer. The two of you with 8 races to pick up points in 5? Yeah, that would be entertaining, I'd pay to watch that!

My buddy Ryan has 2 Wallys in 9 finals, he knows your pain. I don't have a clue, never been there!!

Scott and Bernie aren't newcomers at this for sure..

Scott was Division Champion and a Jegs All Star..

And Bernie has won his share also..

Nothing to be ashamed of..


BTW.. MoparBilly (Billy G.) is probably the best Super Street racer I've seen without a Wally.


Chris..
