Chase or be chased to the line???

Not to get too off topic, but never underestimate the competition. My last pass, was in 97'ish. My only time since the mid 80's. It was a rental car and my last two time runs were both 16.80 with a .523 and .521 reaction time.

My first round was against a 60ish year old man in a early 70's straight 6 Nova. He had a huge white beard like Santa and had "deep" on the window. He was dialed at 20.70...lol. I went with 16.81 for the dial. I'm thinking, i got this whipped.

Big mistake! Bottom line, I wasn't going to catch him, so I tried to dump the stripe. He went right on the .70 with a .50X light to my .540 and 16.80. Yep, he cleaned my clock on the tree.

Cool thing was, yes I lost, but racing is like riding a bike......once you get it, you get it.
