    Default Final points race today.

    Lost the first round, damn track had cross talk on by mistake, and having never seen it, it threw me off my focus when the top bulb came on and the other guy was still sitting there even though he dialed a second slower. He got me fair and square with a .0018 light, he went on the win todays race and the championship.

    I bought back in, ran one of the toughest guys out there, Brian Eyers, he's always .05 or better, I cut a .0057 to his .09 and crossed the stripe on the brakes, beat him by .06.

    3rd round.....002 red. But it didn't matter, it blew the tires off and my 60' was a tenth off as was my ET, I ran it out anyway to see what it would do, 11.51 on a 11.40 dial.

    I'm done until I get rid of this god damn leaf spring set up off and can fit some rubber under the truck, It rocks on killer track prep days, but today, as in almost no prep....It's a frustrating joke.

    I'm way off on my ET, I spun every launch, when the track is prepped I dial at 11.30.
    I've got to get this thing to hook on no track prep days, only time it's prepped is for big events.

    There's always next year. It's what I keep telling myself.

    Everyone has off years. The guy that won Sportsman class this year finished 10th or something last year.

    Pay now or pay when it comes home on a flatbed. Sometimes both. Part of the game.

    Maybe it was the view down the new hood that threw you off?

    Buy backs in a points race? that's just weird.

    I don't have a problem with buy backs...Most of the classes here have em.
    It's not like we have tracks everywhere, I think there are three in the state of NM....Some folks have to drive hundreds of miles, and for me, yesterday it let me have another run because the track fucked up.

    We can't buy back in at points races here, i wish we could. It not only gives a guy another shot but increases the payout if you win.
