That's still a pretty impressive effort John. I'll definitely give you a thumbs up for that one!

I know why Olpin takes so long to stage, he's just letting the oil in his heads run back to the pan.I opened mine up so no one has to wait on me.
I think this is what Rock was trying to say all along...or he's letting the air pressure in his tires drop down after the burnout... or he forgot to tighten his belts ...or his steering wheel fell off..... or his helmet fogged up... or he had a phone call.. or............. |

It is amazing how many people get bent out of shape when someone plays a game on the starting line. Been racing since I was 8 (13 years), and have been cussed my fair share of times for not staging the way my opponent wanted me to. Actually, I will never go in how they want me to. If they wanna stage last, I can fix that. And if they wanna be first, I will beat them in. If you are a good racer, you can concentrate and still do well when you are burned.
But, I am gonna do whatever it takes to get you off your game on the tree.

Lee,
A quick note. When staging in the pro tree class it is very intense. Not like stock where everybody can pre-stage, stage and then eat a philly cheesesteak while the lights are coming down. I really haven't seen that many staging duels in that class in the last 30 years. Asta |

I have raced Super Gas. Well, it was Super Rod in IHRA cus we couldn't afford to take Fridays off. Stock may not have its share of staging battles, but running footbrake in our area does. You may call it intense, but its just part of driving to me. I don't care what class we are running, if you decide you want to stage last... you will either go in first, or we will both go home. Im not going to say who it was against, but my father had the duel of the century when I was like 12 a US13. They got backed out of the tree twice, and the third time the opponent failed himself and went right in. I do believe he even got you once at the grove when you were in a habit of getting in first.
