6 months into the year and so far "no wins". WTH???
I made several "semis" during this 6 months, but alas.... no trophy for grandmas car YET.
With several semi final appearances I have managed to stay 4th place in 2007 Street Stock points.
Friday night 06-01-07 that all changed.
Got my first win after the points leader TRIED to nail me to the tree with a .0006 RT in the 1/4 finals.
I cut a .045 light and was able to get past him and dive the brakes before the finish line! WIN LIGHT LINCOLN LANE!!!
In the semi finals my opponent ran .001 off his dial in.. and LOST!!
"WIN LIGHT LINCOLN LANE!".
Final round was set...
I cut a .030 light to my opponents .070 light, and again.. I got out front..and mashed the brakes and took the win!
FIRST WIN of 2007!!
WOOT!
But..even with the 52 points scored.. I'm still in 4th place!
Good thing is.. I'm only 1 point from catching the 4th place guy..
so.. all is not lost.
Bad thing is... I have around 150 points, and the first place guy has over 300 points, due to me only making 1 race a month.. instead of racing EVERY WEEK.
So.. I'm not in the running for the 2007 championship, but after winning 2004, 2005 and 2006 I figured I'd give "the other guys a chance at it".
HAHA
Gonna keep it up, making 1 maybe 2 races a month and see where I wind up in points, I'm happy in the top 5!
First 2007 win!!!!!!
