You can imagine how I felt when I got the time slip. Even after 20 years of driving, you can always find new ways to lose.
Brad...I was watching from the stands on North side Friday night down low on the grassy area in front of the stands. And the NHRA camera setup had a set of green lights on it just like the finish line scoreboard win lights. And it was really confusing me and I was not even in a racecar on the track.

So, don't be so hard on yourself. It was easy to mistake that camera light at night for the win light. They looked the same from a distance.
