Congrats again Paul! I only wish the coin toss had been a little different, and we could have faced each other in the final, instead of the semis! You earned and deserved your win! First taking out Slow Joe, and then knocking me out with that perfect light was no fluke!
I will be sending you a copy a scanned copy of my new PB in moments. Until it gets to Paul, here are the details:
RT .122
60 ft 1.955
330 ft 5.658
1/8 8.803
mph 78.21
1000 ft 11.512
1/4 13.826
mph 96.98
I am absolutely thrilled with that run on street tires with only a 3.4 pulley and Autolite 104s! I wouldn't be there without Paul's help, so losing to him was much easier to bear.

BONE STOCK 3.8 W/STREET TIRES
Hey folks,
Seems like everyone is coming out of the woodwork on this post, so I figured I'd make a few replies.
BillyBoy, sorry that I didn't get the chance to meet you, and chat. I saw your car in the staging lanes, but I never saw it run. It is quite the "sleeper." I wouldn't have taken it for a low 13 second car, that's for sure. If I see you again, I'll make sure to say hello, and check out a very unique ride.
343fire (Tony, right?), it was nice meeting you and chatting in the pits. I finally saw video of that NHRA crash you told me about, and it was chilling! I think I vaguely remember talking to you back at another event at Cordova sometime ago, so sorry if I acted like you were a total stranger that day. Your GTP runs almost exactly like mine did when it was bone stock, so even some minor mods would definitely have you down into the 13s as well. I really owe you a big thanks for that slight red in Round 2. Had you not red lit, I would have caught you early (since I was unexpectedly so far below my dial) and had to let off or break to avoid a breakout. The ET would have been much slower, and I would only have been able to guess what my personal best could have been. Having that PB at 13.82 looks MUCH BETTER than 13.99, even though that's not alot of time! I'll be taking you even more seriously on the track next time, because I won't be counting on another "minor red-light gift."
Fish, thanks for vouching for my times not being BS, I appreciate it. As for you taking care of Paul for me, thanks but I have other plans. I may have to run the GTP against him at least one more time, and if I still can't get him, I will sick the Sunbird on his ass! Make him sit there and wait for over three seconds, and watch as I chop the tree down on him
! If even that doesn't work, I will have to bring out the big guns ...... I'll sick my wife on him! LOL!
I'm shocked that Paul & I haven't managed to race each other before, and I'm sure we'll see each other again! It was a great race and I got beat fair and square, so I have no regrets. Now I just have a long winter to get thru, and I'm anxiously waiting for 2006 schedules to be posted so I can start planning out trips. Next year I hope I can make at least one of the ILGPC mod days/races too, maybe more!
