Took runner up tonight!

JohnC · May 24th, 2008, 02:42 AM

I got in 19 runs and even with a few cool downs. My first run of the night I cut a .0000 light. Some of my reaction times were .01's, .02's and even a .0040.

I ended up winning runner up tonight, too. In all the years of legally racing, this is the first time I've ever won anything.

If I hadn't changed the dial in by .09, I'd have beat the winner as he ran .04 slower and I'd only ran .02 slower than my dial in.

I don't have a scanner over here at my parents' house, but when I get back to my apartment I will scan the slips.

Wow! No more love and support for a 1st time "2nd place" winner than this around here?

Took me 12 years to win 2nd place! Hope it doesn't take that to finally win 1st place.

That sucks! It sounds a lot like what I hear about MX tracks and OHV trails in Cali. Tracks that used to be out away from homes now have newer "hoods" built around them and people complain about noise, etc., until they get shut down.

IMHO, if the track was there first, they should have no grounds to argue for closure. You should research the area before you buy a home.

I mean, if you bought a home next to a dump that had been there 10 years and complained about the smell, do you think they would shut it down and move all the trash to a new spot? NOPE!
