Hey you think that's bad how about running .04 off the record, into a
headwind, after... Taching 240/241 MPH on the previous run "silver bullet
pass". Basically goes back to "Dalgrens Racing Law's" #10 (listen to the
tuner) & #11 (don't drive and make all the tune-up decisions).
Sometimes saying well theirs always next year is that next year we will
have a different engine and run a different class. Tom will keep his record
for quite awhile longer now.
John Beckett, LSR #79,
