I have been fortunate enough to have won at least one race in each of the last 4 decades, 1970's to 2000's, and one more would give me a fifth one. Yesterday was mission completed, as I was able to get the win at Tri-State Dragway in Ohio in a $1000 to win footbrake class. I had to take out a couple of my Mopar brothers along the way, though, Prochamp in the quarters and Pozest in the final! Sorry guys!

Brian I like beating my freinds early, that gives them some motivation to do better next time What are freinds for if you can't help them BTW, do any of you know how to demotivate them once they start pounding your tail regulary, besides retiring Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

It was a tricky 90 degree day with a head/tail wind and it is difficult to dial your car at this track. Prochamp definitely had me in his crosshairs, as he was dialed 1/10 faster than me with his small-block car. He had a 1/2 a wheel on me at 130 MPH and he went thru and broke out .005. I was safe and a winner, as I was dragging my brakes a bit and not showing my front end going down! I haven't found any pics yet because they moved all their stuff to Facebook, but I will post if I find any.
