All us East coast & Central guys have many more races available to attend. Opens, Pts Meets & National events within a reasonalble area. I think that gives us more ego stroking than the West coast guys. I bet you would't lay down for another A/SA in a finals, Esp if you could show Sorenson your tail lights. I wouldn't take a dive in the finals for any index. Way back when... I only took a dive or two when the car owner ordered it. Hope you guys work out something & save the 396 HP.

Bob, no doubt..Heads up and all bets are off ! Not asking anyone to take a dive, just to be smart about it. I understand those heads up races were tight and nothing could have been done to prevent it. Barry Parker and I raced heads up a few years ago at the Atco open in A..We both had the potential to run 1.40 under so we decided first to the 1000' wins then we would dump. Same thing can be applied to Nationals when 1.15 comes into play...unless you are wheel to wheel of course.
