Drooze told a story about me being about 14 and some change on reaction time..... but it wasn't my fault... He should have banged on the window or done something else to wake me up..... I had never driven that car before and frankly hadnt even driven at the track in 40 years...

It is so cozy in that helmut and a stock car........that I must have fallen asleep.. yea. that's the ticket....That is my story and I am sticking to it.

I bought a porta tree and practice regularly now... recently had a friend into the shop with his son who was in town and was a racer too. I got out the porta tree to show him. We hit a few lights, and I was crushing him.. Then he started to "get it" and was getting close to my times, and I said "OK, this is the last time " He agreed, and we ran it one last time. I hit an .000 and he hit a .025 and said he Wow.... How often can you do that?

I said, "every time I really want to"..... and I smiled... putting the porta tree back into the box and thinking how that was really good planning to have said this will be our last run.....

The last time I saw an .000 reaction time on the timing slip, it belonged to the guy in the other lane...
