Won Race, Reached Milestone - 09/04/13 02:29 AM
After taking last year off to pay bills, one of my goals going forward was to win a bracket race in this decade. 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!

You might as well come for the party, it will rain whether you are there or not!
I was there last w/e for the 10 grand nationals, and it rained out 2 of the 3 days...

Congrats on you accomplishment Charlie!
I liked the quote from Wilkerson yesterday, "I have many friends here, but on race day, its every man for himself!" Me personally, I have no friends between the burnout and the turnout.

How does that commercial go? "Everyone needs a rival, so they have someone to beat"!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. 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.
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
