Big congrats on the win. There were some heavy hitters in that class.

It was nice meeting you this weekend. Its good to put a face with a name.


Keep up the great work, and run it out the back.

Nice runs nice win!! Were the two lanes equal? I watched the vidio once but noticed you always were in one lane.

As a racer would you rather run 1/8 or 1/4 mile?

Good luck with the next step of running quicker!!

1st round we didn't have lane choice
2nd round we didn't have lane choice
finals we had lane choice and didn't switch, everyone said the right lane was better but hey if it aint broke dont fix it.

From what I could tell in qualifying you had to pedal in the right lane. I'm pretty sure you qualified quicker in the left lane.

Well, we never made a hit in the right lane with the suspension fixed. The only reason I had to lift was because the car was going right HARD. Never spun on any of the passes.

the lanes were pretty close.the right lane is usually better,and i believe it may have been better on friday but,like Phil said,we were stuck in the left lane the runs before that and it was working good,so we didn't want to mess with a good thing.

My original post wasn't questioning your judgment. I sometimes see things other folks don't notice. I thank you for answering my question.

I prefer 1/4 mile racing over 1/8 mile. In my mind it allows a true quicker vehicle the advantage. I enjoy anything with doors. Anything running 5:30's or quicker in the 1/8, any brand. A quick race car is a quick race car.................... My hat is off to you - good luck with your future racing - be safe!!
