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
Very cool! I`m sure those wire front wheels looked interesting at night!
