got in the quick 8 dragster race with a 4.667. #9 qualifier was 4.668! Got to the final and had to run my most recent nemisis Claude Debonis. He is a great racer and fellow div1 transplant who has now beaten me 3 times in the last 2 weeks Finish margin in the final was .0002 He went on to win the quick doorcar/dragster runoff over John Taylor in his chevy powered Dakota.

Wow Wayne, great job. As Quick said, not much you can do about that MOV. I'd say one very good racer got some help from Lady Luck to beat another very good racer.

thanks guys! Yes Laverne Claude did race motorcycles for a long time in his younger days.

not being funny here, but your not looking for any better weather unless you come north. are you against spraying it, to run the quick races?

no I am not. My race season will end in a couple weeks while most of you are just starting. I race 8-9 months a year and take summer off. I may put a plate on for some Div 2 races??

Here is Claude at Div 2 Bradenton TD race. Car went completely vertical and smashed both front wheels off when it landed He made first round the next morning has Worthy on speed dial!

claude probably has more seat time racing than a lot of people do daily driving, you don't get that good by accident. next time you see him tell him i said hi.

not like claude to be all that flashy, everything he ever raced was just solid black...guess he's gone hollywood

yes he ran bikes that's how i met him, we had a blast running the bikes.

Congrats Wayne,

nothing better thn going to the finals, put
some $$$$$ in the pocket.

Sure did miss seeing you at the Rock this
weekend, the weather was unbelievable, sunny,
no clouds in the sky.

Maybe next time.
You missed a good race.

Dave
