Very Happy from this past weekend Guys!!
I haven't bracket raced in 25 years I think?
It was very humid and warm - took a few time runs, car ran 11.33 - 11.31
Dialed an 11.30 - the guy I raced red lighted first round, I ran 11.30 so thought I should dial a .29
Next couple runs had I had a better light and touched the brake towards the line -win, win.
Semi finals a car dropped out, I got the bye run - ran a .29 so I dialed a .28 for the final.
Ran against an 11.90 Gremlin.
He had a .06 light, I had a .09 (not my best but I didn't want to red light)
Caught him in 3rd gear - he ran 11.96 (.06 over) I ran 11.284 with a touch of the brakes at the line, I may have broke out if I didn't!!!
But I won a Trophy!! :)
I know it's just a $2.00 trophy, but it really got the competitive juices flowing!!
After having this car for so long, and putting in the time and effort my friends and I did restoring it, this is like a huge "I Still Got It" moment!
My birthday was yesterday, family all came over and had me tell all the stories about the day....
I'm really blessed for an old fart!!
Thanks to everyone on here, I've asked plenty of advice and learned a lot being on here.
What's Next!?!?!?
