Tyler Cassel was there to run it with Robin Brown. Tyler 10.02, Robin 9.98? The scales were close. I always ran on the safe side. It was fun watching people working hard to run hard, on purpose. Fun times. The MPH for my car was very close to what I had been running, nothing funny for me.

I remember this race well, this was the first 9sec K car, and I think Tyler was running the guts out of that SBC to get the record from robin!! There was pretty much not any down time at all, you just went out and made a pass, almost like a Test and Tune! This might have been the same race i went into a bad wheelstand and bent both rims, broke tie rod, crushed oil pan and headers........
dad and I have been talking to the div 2 director and track owner about coming back.........(fingers crossed)
