Don't think I've ever heard a cheer at the track as loud as when he jumped out of the car with his hands in the air. Anyone else there that day? http://www.competitionplus.com/competiti...famous-blowover If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

What's funny is, recently, a friend of mine asked about that, I told him I had it on tape, been trying to find that tape ever since. Unfortunately I don't think I have a working vcr to screen all the tapes I have. Dave #1355 SS/EA
