I would have been screwed with nobody to put me in the water. Plus, my small block doesn't make "mammoth power" like all your big blocks - I may not even have been able to do a burnout!

Yes true. Bryan stated the same thing, so I am in full agreement. The burnouts most likely didn't have anything to do with it (not that I thought that they did, but I know a lot of guys that boil the hides, so your's and Bryan's burnouts are certainly on the short side compared to many).

Good to see you too Tommy. I can only hope that the next time you do see me I am with car in tow. At least you've seen my car on the way to the races - most people on ClassRacer probably don't even believe I own one.

Not criticizing Bryan, just busting on you. I also open the door after every burnout to let the smoke out. I usually close the door immediately before I go into the prestage beam, but to each his own.

Pfft. Valve springs. Who needs stinking valve springs?!?! That's why I like my stinking small block - 8,000 rpm in the burnout box. Of course, I've also been known to leave half of my small block on the starting line, but that's another story.
As for your burnout and it affecting the run - see my comments above with regard to Tommy D's burnout. Regardless, sorry all you guys got screwed...
