drag racing

There use to be a track I raced at in the early to mid 70"s. Was called Twin City Drags in Oldsmar Fl. There was a a beat up 65 Chevy Malibu wagon that was wrecked in the rear that stayed at the track. Every Saturday night, they would put 3-5 gallons of gas in it and enter it in bracket racing. It would piss me and many others off because about 50-70% of the time he won the money. it ran 18-19 in the quarter and everyone had to run him down and most of the time lost because of breaking out, red lighting or just plain running out of track!
Now the sad part about this story is it took many many years for me to realize this life lesson. CONSISTENCY WINS!
