Isn't that what this is all about?
This is about performance isn't it?
Now i dont know why he did it
Maybe just because he can
Either way he spent the money and can do as he wants
Me I will keep working to keep up
Thanks Rod for setting the bar higher,,,,

Mark,
Thanks for the kind words.
I wasn't the one to hit the 305/263 combo first, I was content running 1.15 under for class with 120 lbs extra in the trunk as this was a mineshaft race. After another racer hit our combo the first round of class. I was pissed off and took 100 lbs out for the next round of class and ran 1.264 under, thinking that the next trigger was 1.30 under. As many know we have run our car between 7-8 tenths under for the last 4 years to keep the average down. Only at Indy last year or open races have we held it all the way down. What really sucks for me personally is losing the record that I set a few weeks earlier at Atco because of someone wanted to go to the pole in qualifying.
