Cheating

PONCHO POWER · 09-18-2007, 05:09 PM

For kicks and giggles I went back to 2005, (also included is the 2004 world finals at the Rock) the last year my brother raced before his mini-retirement. In national events (IHRA) he had 42 total lights that I could find on DRC with 1 red. His average was .0229 this doesn't include the divisionals (5 in total) in which he won 2. I would say his average with those included is probably a little lower. He had 5 lights over .037 and 23 lights under .020. It is possible to have stellar lights without cheating, it is called PRACTICE. He would hit the practice tree hundreds if not thousands of times a week. He knew what every little adjustment on the car would do for his reaction times. I think he's working on returning some time next season (took time off to stay home with his baby boy) Look out another Mitchell in the world!
