Sorry I didn't know this was a footbrake race. Either way I still say the guy did a heck of a job and should be very proud. Joe

I heard they were going to REQUIRE delay boxes next year to loosen up the packages!

They had to replace the printer in the timeslip booth because it ran out of zeros.

Just on Friday alone, I was double-entered and was .012, .009, .016, .014, .011, .009, .001, .025, .013..... and IN THE WAY. It was ridiculous. Still a good time and great to be a part of, but it was amazing to hear some world-class drivers saying things like, "I used to think I was a pretty fair driver".

Just a couple of examples.... In the Shootout, Doyle Kay is .000 and takes .005 stripe for the L. One pair, the announcer says, "They're both dead late... they're .015 and .017..."

Talking Re: Bad reaction !!

That is a good example of making a comment without knowing ALL the facts! Sorry Manny, I'll give ya a hug next time I see ya! Jim


"LOL..That's either a brilliant funny haha, or you are a total blithering idiot."

This is a first for me! I don't think I have ever been accused of being both in one post before! Jim

lol..I had a feeling that may have been the case..especially you being from FLA., and it was no accusation! ..Cheers.

..On a sidenote- I was .020 and dead on in round 2 of the shootout, and was junk to my man's .003 and spitting brake dust in my face..rough crowd.

With roughly a second head start if you are looking at the other guy then you've already lost, unless he goes red!! How can you question a -.005 red light??? Just a tough break on Manny's part, that's all! Congrats on your runner up!! Damn, he lost in the 9th round........he sucks!!!

Question Re: Bad reaction !!

I was reading some of the results on this race at Drag Race Central.Truly some amazing packages for a "footbrake" race.
Are any two-steps,trans brakes,or buttons allowed in this,or is it truly "footbrake"?

Pure footbrake.

My *losing* runs of the weekend were
.009 and .03 over
.013 taking .001
-.001 red
.023 taking .008
.033 taking .007
.020 dead-on with a zero
-.003 red, dead-on with a 2
.039, under .003
.017, double breakout by .001
-.010 red

Yah. It was like that. Lord, that was like two months worth of racing. Glad that's out of the way!
