His MOV .0202 (The .020 I gave him on the tree)

I though I had the stripe by a wheel, I lost it by a fender and didn't have time to hit the breaks. :mad: I am totally amazed by how fast he came by at the end of the track.

Write this one off to experience.
:cool:

Dayum that one was close Jim! I got skooled by a 9.0x sec GN 2 years ago at one of the GM EFI events at E-town. I'll never forget how fast he ran past me. I break out more than I should because I never use enough break... I always picture that GN blowing by at 150;). One of these days I'll get it right.


Anyway you look at it Jim that was a good race. At those speeds there is almost no time to go for the brakes. With a 9 sec car running you down its very hard to judge where you will both be at the line. You miss judged by 2 feet at 115 mph... thats not too shabby if you ask me.

was this at atco?...if so, was it the older gen S10?

was this at atco?...if so, was it the older gen S10?

Yes. Full cage, plexi glass, huge slicks, FOR SALE sign. #T158, Brian Brown according to ATCO's roster. I went over after I loaded my car on the trailer but he wasn't in the pits with truck.

yeah, every gamblers night you can find him there....i have plenty of video of him, that truck is pure balls :bow: :D
