As I was pairing up with my first round opponent, Jerry Lambertz, and his 12 second DD 86 Monte Carlo, Rachael walked up to me with her shoulders slumped down.
"What's going on?"
"I've walked the entire lanes twice", she explained, pointing back at the other cars, "And I can't find the car I'm supposed to race."
"That's alright, maybe he's broke. Just wait until the end, and pull up behind the last car, if he doesn't show up, you will get a competition single, because we are already on a ladder."
"Ok, I'll do that", she smiled and headed back to the Belvedere.

Even though Drag Week was over, and the Averages were final, I was still interested in how the Ross family's gold Falcon wagon ran, and was surprised when Addie went 10.63-127 a few cars in front of me. The Valiant answered with a 10.628 at only 123.88 to make it past the first round.
