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.

That's the beauty about stk and ss. You can leg it out when you want to. I hope Kenny and Mike do it again. Change cams and do it again. Add fuel injection and do it again. This whole gentleman's is BS. Kenny has been running this combo for years. If he wants the pole at one of his favorite races than so be it. He's spent the hard earned money over the years and deserves it!
