Also if you can cut a .5xx light in a 14 sec. street car, deep staged, instant green, you should be making money reading minds (or send me the winning lottery numbers  ).
Sorry to hear about your Grandpa Kathy, will deep you in my prayers.

Thanks Armand...it's one of those things you know is going to happen someday...but I still couldn't prepare myself!!
That's NOT a bad idea Armand...really, kind of sounds fun!
Well....I do think you mean...."pro" racers or "big name" racers though, 'cause I am very experienced racing along with several others on the show. Just not so much with that car...'cause I had never driven it before. I run SC/QR dragsters week in and week out and licensed to go even faster!
I was running my car all out...just had one pooooopy ET when I got up on the r's a little much and spun REAL bad. Show #2 (14.22 oops what a dummy) I'm used to hammering down...guess I wouldn't make a good alcohol FC or dragster driver, eh? (sorry...left over from my trip up north!!

)
I think my other times for that episode were 13.60 (he says I hit my brakes....yeah right!), 13.66 going in deep then a 13.61 & a 13.62 also deep, my only trick. Of course I didn't know what I ran until I saw the show....and was surprised how consistant I was for spinning each time.
I think I only cut a .5XX light once...first time I went in deep. One pass I had a .646 and he had a .784......maybe that was on purpose, ya just never know. By cutting a BAD light...it would give him more to neogotiate with.
OK...enough about that....we still haven't watched Seattle yet...and Kevin just started it on the DVR.....I'm missing it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
PS...If I can come up with some good lotto numbers...I promise I will share with the fellow 'maters! As long as we spend it on or so we can go drag racing!!!

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
