[SS Engine Guy]

Don't really care about when my opponent wants to show up. Except when the head of staging tells me I have a "break bye" and to move to such and such lane and I will run with two other break byes after the paired cars go down. Now if that official had said "your opponent is working trying to make it and he may show up as he notified us of his situation" that is a whole different story. Long story short, and this happened 3 times with the same guy, he shows up as late as possible because he has a buddy in the lanes on a cell phone, drives by me and into his choice of lanes. No flip. Nothing. Leaving me putting a dial in on the car and in a rush. BS. I lost one and won two. First time it got in my head. Second and third time I had already talked to the starter and explained the situation. We both started burnouts , I immediately shut off in the water and waited, and waited, and run weather, and waited. Finally hit the starter did the normal burnout and proceeded to win the round. Anybody can run their "program" anyway they want until it affects MY program. Also running two classes isn't my problem. And before anybody starts second guessing this wasn't Dan. Bottom line: If you don't think you can beat me fair and square in either lane you don't even need to be there.
