Default Long spot!!!

I've been racing for 30+ years and yesterday had to give my longest spot. It is till now the record for the longest spot at NPR. I was dialed at 12.05 and ran a super street driver in his Geo Prism dialed at 22.00. Sitting there for 9.95 seconds while he was going downm the track required patience. I caught him and won round . He ran 22.05 to my 12.10 with me having the better light. That was fun the announcer had time to make a big production about the race for the almost 10 seconds that the slower driver had on me. Great fun. I made 7 rounds to the final and was runner-up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Frank95z

woulda been nice if you had dialed in a 22 and left with him... just wave at him all the way down then jump out a inch at the last minute <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

its a pinto at our track which runs 21's or something and usually wins all the brackets <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
