Got to the final today in Quick 16 at Tomato Nationals but couldn't finish the job. Ran 5.2899 on 5.29 dial It was .002mov at the stripe with my breakout of .0001, that's racin'!! Really can't complain, 2 finals in 2 races entered coming off 2 year hiatus with the Dart! That and I won an earlier round with a .0008mov! Runner up purse was pretty good took home $900 oh, and for you guys shoveling snow!!

Must be nice it's below zero here! Always nice to come home with cash.

That is a nice runner-up payout. It should help lessen the feeling of loss. Congratulations on the cash winnings. I had one of those $900 R/U in 2009, and got the win in 2010 in a similar race where we split $1400 to win and $1000 R/U.
What were the RT's of both drivers?

congrats and the winner was Jason McCandless, is he one of Herb's sons?
Not that I'm aware of, I've known Jason & his Dad James for over 20 years when Jason was just a li'l chit....good people and Jason is one hell of a racer

I dont think you let one slip away, thats just darn good close racing And to make 2 finals in a row ,you should be proud. That just solidifies that your on your game and winning is only .0001 away Sorry just had to raz you a bit.
416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!

thanks guys!! yes it hurt but not all that bad! we split. I am a firm believer what goes around comes around and ironically I won the last race the same way I lost this one, opponent breakout. Ya .0001 hurts a little but no way could I hit the brakes, we were practically tied together. Feel like I am ready for IHRA National this week followed by IHRA div2 race the following week. Wish me luck!! oh, and for you guys shoveling snow cgall, that is a beautiful home, I love the corner window!
