Going Rounds in Stock at Winternationals

First round I drew former Division Champion
Ryan Mangus.

I was holding .035 on the tree and went down
and took a .004 strip on his hard closing Nova with
the 318 Aspen Wagon.

Second round I had the misfortune to draw the former
to Champion and current Division Champion Jody Lang.

I put up a .011 light to his .030 light and despite a couple hundred
of wheel spin (Marginal Track Prep.) managed a .008 Stripe.

Tomorrow, I face the current World Champion Kyle Rizzoli in his
low 10 second Camaro. But as a top qualifier he is in line for the bye
into the final rounds on Sunday and I hope to win and steal that from him.

Due to the way the Ladder put my son and I to race each other in Superstock
and I decide to not show and forfeited to my boy.

I had decided that last year was the final year for my racing due to Health Issues.

I am currently legally Blind in one eye and struggling with Cataracts in the other eye (not uncommon for a person coming up on 76). Plus I have lost my entire Depth Perception making the finish way harder to judge.

However, as long as I can turn on Win Lights occasionally = I think I will stick around at the Track a little while longer!
