I have lost quite a few races earlier this year breaking out or giving up the finish line. Finally at Monster Mopar Sunday I was able to get the job done. 6 rounds of racing and only ran the car flat out once and it was on a bye run. I hogged up the stripe a couple of times but was lucky enough not to breakout. I usually run about 126-127mph for a 10.50 ET.

Can't make out the time slips, but I'm guessing there is good reason why there are six. Good work!

Nice going. up I know I feel when you go alot of rounds and win there is always a little luck going your way that day. Dont have to be alot but it seems its just enough to have that lucky break where its so close but it goes your way. And I dont mean you are lucky by any means as you deserve that win I just mean its tuff enough to win 6 or more rounds in a row that who ever wins had the good luck and not the bad luck that day. And thats because its tuff to win against all the good drivers out there. Congrats to your win and your great driving and good running car to get that win ! beer Ron

Oh I think you have been doing fine driving the stripe this year. I know I cut you loose hoping you would break out and got beat by a dead on run from you.

There has to be at least 10,000 different ways to lose at drag racing, you found another one of them grin shruggy
I think I'm up to #8,996 shruggy whistling
I look at these things as another lesson in drag racing up

That was an unreal race, midnight, fog at the finish line.
