This is my Helmet-Cam video from the Quarter Final round of the Autometer Northern Class Nationals against Kevin Skinner in his FS/A 2014 Cobra Jet. Kevin actually red-lighted on this run – but I was so focused on shift points – and then on the finish line -- that I never looked at the scoreboard. I dumped when I realized Kevin was going to take the stripe and killed about .01-.02. Kevin ran 154 MPH on this run.

Imagine what this feels like in your middle class Stocker that is running 112-115 MPH?

Mike I run a FWD stocker you should see how it feels when they pass me lol
