1.20+ run Vegas divisional

[B Parker]

Congrats to Jim Hale. At 81 years young and still doing it !!! Great Run. You at 81 have more balls to show what you have in a performance class than most of us that play the AHFS game. BP

I agree with the performance,just the reasoning behind it.On his 2 prior runs his best pass was -1.10,on the 3rd pass he went -1.24.The -1.10 was not enough to back up the -1.24+ to even get the record.I don't know how NHRA is going to look at this,I believe it's a one of combo,and it went +1.20 under only once.Have to wait till Tuesday....gsa612

I'm not sure what Mr. Hale's reasoning is. But it appears he wanted the number one spot. After the second round of time trials Joe moved into that spot and pushed Mr. Hale back to number two. I don't think he likes that number so decided to push the pedal harder. Just my guess.

None of us like it when someone gives an instant hit to a combo we run but at 81 he gives us all something to look forward to. BP
