Number One With An *
The NEW champ gained 31 points today, that put him in the lead by one point. It sure makes that 21 point swing in the finals at Rocky Mountain Raceway loom really large. It is very difficult to believe that the apple falls that far from the tree a former world pro stock champ.
The worst thing the new champ will face the rest of his life is the question, could I have really won it? Dying wondering is a fate worse than death!!! Larry Hill |

Pardon my ignorance but who was the Pro Stock World Champ you are refering to? By tree I assume you mean Justin's dad.

Re: Number One With An *
In 1992 I was in a heated battle with Todd Paton for the IHRA Alky Funny Car Championship. At the Epping, New Hampshire IHRA National Event I made it to the finals. My much respected opponent, one of the winningest NHRA Alky racers of all time offered to take a "dive" for me. With all due respect, It was a money thing for him, a trophy / points thing for me. I told him - No - Absolutely Not... I'd have to look at that meaningless trophy the rest of my life. I lost a very close race. I was runner up, and I lost the IHRA Championship to Todd Paton by less than the number of points I would have attained at that race. Do I think about it ? ...Yes... Regrets ... NONE... JB., P.S. - I won the next IHRA Natl event at Epping, beat Todd Paton in the final.... KARMA ?????...Don't know, but I'm the only one looking at me in the mirror when I shave every morning. - True Story
