Down to 1/4 Finals @ Winternationals

Well, I am heading Home.

We had a Funny Car oil down the entire track causing
a 2 Hour delay.
This meant we were pushed back to race late in the day.

A lot of the cars were spinning in the left lane.
After I lost the coin toss Ryan put me in the left lane which
was certainly his prerogative.

I had broken the Dana 60 in the Aspen Superstock at Winternationals
two weeks ago and was forced to put my Demon 340 Stocker into Superstock.
The Demon 340 Stocker runs a 9 inch wide by 30 tire (Class Rules) while real
Superstocker's run as large as 14 Wide by 32 Tires. My car run 1.3s @60Ft. and
generally hooks on any track on the small tire. But the track was slick which put me
at a disadvantage. I lowered the tire pressure from 22 to 17 and the starting line RPM
to 3200 from 3700 on the 2 Step.

Nevertheless, the tree came down and I hit my spot perfectly BUT the tires exploded
and the car nearly stood still like I was still in the water box (1.6+ 60 Ft.) and the race
was over before it started.

Jon Jr. went .002 Red the same round after beating one of the best drivers year in and
out from the Northwest Area - Tommy Gaynor the previous round.
Jon parleyed a .018 light to Tommy's .017 and closed the finish down nicely
with a 10.850 on a 10.84 in his Superstock SS/KA Duster (Real Superstocker)
