This is why bracket racing pisses me off (sometimes). Good run, though. That's a really quick car.

Last night was allot worse though. I havn't had a car for the track in 25 years. First time at the track with a new car I knew nothing about.Never had an auto so I was used not used to shifting it , plus racing in the dark...I'm 48 and my eyes aren't what they used to be(neither are my reaction times) it was a real experience to say the least. The only thing I liked about the night racing was the cool temps, ran a best of 6.982 at 91.11 mph. I had a great time both days and didn't realize how much I missed it, and thats really what it's all about. win or lose I'll have a great time with it. Now if I can just get my 95 vert project finished I'll have two to play with. 95 is going to be stroked and sprayed, It should be just as quick if I can get it to hook.
