Mike broke out at 6 cars against a 10 second car he had in the bag. :(

Mike has an '80 Diplomat 2 door that he is running in NHRA V/SA. He has applied his finesse to it and the car is capable of running 1 second under the index. It is a Super Six motor. :lol:

Been there, done that... waaayy too much.
In Mike's defense, it is really hard to look over your shoulder and judge closure when your opponent is running a much faster car, they go by you like a shot, at the finish line.

Yep. Mike is getting an education in the finer points of driving a slow car, especially the dialing it in part. Atmospheric changes that slow a fast car down .04 will kill his car .2-.4, and you can never tell which. By the same token, changes that will make a fast car pick up .05-.1 will pick up a slow car .01-.2, and you can never tell which. :shock:

Mike is doing a great job driving a car with the aerodynamics of a barn. :D :D :D

Yup. But unless the faster cars driver, has a lot of experiance, they tend to get nervous sitting on the line for 6 seconds. :lol:
