Dis is My Ride!!!

Wow! A 10.64! And with a broken snubber to boot. I can't believe how cool that must have been to have the help of the S&M team. I wonder if if it was the colder plugs or the timing reduction that made the difference?

All my racing experience was bracket racing bikes, but it was always trophy racing. I entered 3 races, two at Great Lakes Dragway and one here at Bandimere and won all three. I wanted to get in the money classes but was in a position where I needed sponsorship to afford the parts I needed. I found that as you say, 100% focus on the light was key. I tuned out everything but the sound of my bike and the light.

Enough about me though, lol. Sorry to hear about the RR. That was one mean machine. I always admired you 4 speed guys and am still hemming and hawing about whether to go manual or auto on my Duster build. I saw a guy up at Bandimere running 8's IIRC in a four speed Chevelle. It was incredible to watch him carry the front end on every shift. What fun that's gotta be, lol! He did lose though as he missed a shift. I love that class but could never afford to be competitive.

Thanks again Pat for sharing your memories. :)
