Unbelievable driving but I’m not doubting it, might be an advantage to have such a short wheelbase and stay in front of potential bald spots. Looks like his car leaves exactly the same every time and he’s very precise in staging.

Some of these guys are tough to beat but man they spent enough money to get there. When you double enter, double buyback if needed you double or triple you percentage of winning. I watched guys spend 1250.00 to double enter at Norwalk last weekend and 150.00 to buy back in an entry each day. I couldn’t physically handle that over three days of racing, or afford it.

422 Indy headed small block

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Dude can drive. He probably races 3-4 times a week every week or atleast it seems. Makes 1,000s of passes a year I'm sure. If you make that many passes a year and have good equipment I'd think you'd be pretty good odds at winning. Just can't imagine how much $$ they shell out in just for entry fee's a year, than figure in gas and maintenance. Probably more than I make a year.

Everybody who has any success bracket racing stages the same way all the time, and the car repeats. That is a huge key. Those two things are pretty much required to have consistent good results.
