Round one Mitch and Jon raced each other and I raced another 80's Cutlass with slicks. Mitch took Jon out firest round, If Jon didn't race Mitch, we all have no doubt that it would have been 3 Aleros in the last 2 rounds.

Mitch raced that 86 Cutlass that I was talking about above. Mitch broke out going 15.955 on a 16.00 dial. This round I had the bye run having the best R/T in the class

I line up with the Cutlass in the final round, I dialed in at 15.26 to his 11.96, I also won lane choice and the guy was telling Jon and I about how he hates racing slower cars in the left lane becuase he can't look at his tach and the tree at the same time.

I launch, what I thought was good, then I watch him launch, I look forward and see the win lights He red lighted, -.055 red and my .128 light was probably still good enough to edge him out at the top end.

I got 2 trophies, a class, and a huge 1st place one. $100 bucks and my very first gold sticker

There will be another thread about the Redog v Jackel race later. I want to get the vid up and the program I have for the vids sucks total ass so bad, it can taste the food you are eating right now

Bracket racing annoys me personally, why cant they line up cars that are much closer in et? a 15 sec. car against an 11 sec. is not fun to watch.
