i don't know that i have 3 nice shirts

[jim sanders]

hey i know what you mean FH.. I only got a chance to wear two of them so i still have 1 clean shirt left .. what a great day and night of racing !! the conditions must have stayed pretty consistant throughout the event as i lost count after 140 or so dead-on runs that were announced including many side by side. We were much better than week 1 (0/4) winning round 1 in both classes saving buyback cash which put Don in a good mood and it looked like good things to come.. round two of street hurt as we gave one away but got past round 2 in pro/et which cuts the field in half and now the serious racing begins !! I changed into my Draglist t-shirt for good luck in round 3 and Don did a fine job of driving and the win light came on again Bill racer 403 was also picking up round wins so there was excitement brewing in the little oldsmobiles that can pit area (both cars sporting Draglist decals by the way ) now for round 4 both cars are into the money rounds and the same group of heavy hitters are being laddered.. at this point in the show you have to be perfect or lucky so we dialed hard based on the previous rounds 1000ft wich was the quickest of the event up to this point but were off by a few hundreths and got beat.. Bill won his round 4 match so we had something to be happy about but he got aggressive and went red.Still all in all it was a great deal as Don and Bill both made some money and we dug out of the basement in the points deal. The new scoreboards are great as i could read them both in the bright sun and at night. Again i was hoping to see some of the area N/FC cars show up for testing but no one was there.. It would have been great to have Rapid Randy there last night! Well until all the round by round numbers are posted to analize let me end by saying congrats to Don and Bill for a good showing !! Oh yea, Bret was there so check his site for pics as i saw him zoom in on me once or twice with the Draglist shirt on.. don't know if he was just focusing or clicked
