Re: What was your best moment in racing
1. Its gotta be my first pass down the drag strip in my jr. dragster. First I did a 60 foot pass, they pushed me back then I went in the high 12s pedaling (they wouldn't let me run it out the first time :P ), then a half throttle run in the low 10s, then we took the throttle stop off and I made a couple passes in the low 9s. I don't think I've ever had as big of a smile on my face as I did that day.
2. A close second is winning the Bowling Green Open last year. It was just my day, managed to have .00 lights the first 3 rounds of eliminations, then it rained a bunch. They decided to run it 1/8th mile because they didn't have time to dry the shutdown completely, which I was very ok with considering I had made probably around 15 quarter mile passes in my life at that point. I won both the 4th and 5th rounds by .008 (went dead on with a 0 against Chad Mahlosky in the 5th) then beat the reigning national champ Edmond Richardson in the final. I think dad might have been even more excited than I was, they said he went crazy when my win light came on lol! It was really cool, it felt like being back at Ohio Valley in the winner's circle because Matt Morris won SS and Ricky Decker was runner up
