Default Points Race #1

Well it goes a little like this.
1st Round: .038 to his .126 dumped hard at end = Win
2nd Round: .032 light to their Red Bulb= Win
3rd Round: .012 light to their Red Buld = Win
4th Round: .009 light to their .032 I ran 11.092 on a 11.08 taking win. Getting bye round. This is also against the guy who did the heads on my car.
5th Round: Raced last years # 2 in points. My .025 to his .048 Ran 11.073 on a 11.05 on the brakes.
6th Round: Got to use the bye. Only broke the beams. Bye into the finals
Final Round: My .040 to his .094 Double break out. I had to push him out the door. ran 11.04 on a 11.08 to his 13.43 on a 13.54. Dad and I knew this guy was a heavy sandbagger. I dumped right before catching him letting him take the stripe.(somtimes I have a hard time letting them have the stripe)

I wasn't in the points before today. The track manager let me sign up though. So for now I am #1 in points.

Ken

Yeah I heard. We took a look to see who it was. There was a bad accident on Laraway and Nelson that night.

Ken,

Nice job. The car looked good going rounds. I lost first round of S/P.

When did they let you sign up for points? My brother won Sportsman but was not in the points before the race ... He called 66 called on Monday and Macmahon said he could still sign up but they would not give him the points he earned on Sunday.

Let me know what they told you.

Thanks,

Jim

Chris said that he didn't think it would be a problem. I thought I was already signed up though. from the last 5 years of running there for the track. I haven't heard if it went through though. I filled out all the info. I guess I will find out on Sat.


Thanks again

Ken
