It is! Glad you remembered that. It was a little different then in Boise. Was running it it SP with a delay box, dual line locks and a CO2 starting line controller. Was the slowest car in the class. But it was before Crosstalk and Boise didn't even have the top bulbs open so the fast cars could crossover. There were so many bad "splits" with the handicap starts that the slower car had a good thing going. Mark Kidd knew this, so he slowed his dragster down to 12.00 or so and was wearing them out till I left 1.2 seconds ahead of him. He said it looked like the 4th of July with my tires going through prestage and stage beams as he's trying to let go on his top bulb! LOL
