Lined up with the reigning Funny Car champ and took him down! ! My company (AAA Insurance) is sponsoring the NHRA Nationals and tonight they held a sponsor track day on the strip at Gateway. The NHRA brought out 8 Ford Fusions (mid 15s at 90-91) and 64 of us got to race each other in an elimination tournament, 64 then 32 then 16 etc. I got to the final and won so then I got to race Robert Hight, who races on John Force's team and is the 2009 champion. I've met him before, he's cool as hell. I beat him and they gave me a sweet-*** plaque and a coupla autograped hats. Good times!

No pics? The better question is if he was from Force racing did you get to meet Ashley? That would have been better then beating the champ!
That is really cool that you won and beat him too!
