Family outing at TRP. Funny weather but we were there anyway. My best et for the night was a 13.55 and my best mph was 102.42. GMJohnny's best et was 13.61 @103.36. Basement Paul was 13.45's @ 99.50's. I raced Basement on my first and best pass of the evening and his 13.49 was too much for me. Then GMJohnny and I made a pass, GM lites the red, so we tried it again and I went red. Too much pressure.
Ten cars in Animal Eliminator. I won my first two rounds putting two 11 second cars on the trailer. At this point there are only three cars left. Basement already had a bye run so I had a chance at the bye run which would have put me in the money run, unfortunately my Jack was beat by a king and I had to run Paul to get to the finals. My .1 reaction against his .12 made for a close run, the T/A winning by .017.

Damn, I was almost going to head out last night in the Cobalt as I left work. I even tried calling BP to see if he was going. Oh well.

Not only did I miss the bye for the semi final, there was a drawing for the bye run in the quarter finals. My queen bested three other competitors, only Basement needed yet to draw, I'm a 6 to 1 favorite to get the Bye, but he finds an ace and gets the bye. After he disposed of his dad in the semi final round, here is a video of his money run.

Congrats Paul! Sounds like you guys had a good time. Wish I would have went. I thought it was going to be a rain out. Oh well maybe next time.
