Congrats Jim!!!
Now where are those pesky flyers he had made up??
I'm sure you'll get to run him again, because of the excuses he'll have for you at work...
Get some drag radials for next time

Hey All...sorry it took sooooooo long to reply. Well the day (actually night) came and went. Didn't play out as anyone expected though 
We each were to get 2 practice runs. So I elected to take mine while we waited for him (he was late)...that way I would be able to watch him. I sandbagged my first 2 runs...ran it out thru 3rd, then dogged it in fourth.
My first run was 12:85 100mph, 2nd was 13:00 95mph.
His first run he hammered it out the gate and got squirrely almost went into the wall in third....16:11
His next run was very good 12:64.
Now.....we lined up for our first race (both nervous) I missed third then double clutched and hit fifth
looked in my mirror and he was a lil behind me. He missed second, but was close on my tail. My r/t was .037 to his .177 that helped.
Second run...this time I had the .177 r/t (my others .045 and .100) to his .490...he ran 12.85 to my 12.91 @114.50. I won it by a hole shot.
The track was closed shortly after due to rain...so it remains Vette 2 Shelby 0. I was very lucky...other than r/t's that's the worse I've run.

I would try and locate this guy below and pick his brain.
