Thanks guys! That was the first time this year that I did drag racing and the first time ever that I did autocrossing. I did some limited drag racing last year, but very limited. I consider my Viper a street Viper, so I drove it to the track from my home and also drove it home from the track. At the track I drove it with the full 29 pounds of air pressure that I drive it on the street with. I know I could cut several tenths off of my times by lowering my air pressure, but I'm just wanting to learn my Viper the way I drive it on the street. So, I run in the low to mid 12's with a Roe Supercharger. It's a big challenge to put down all the power the Roe has on street tires at street PSI.

I have lots more to learn and, with youse guys' help I eventually will be a good drag racer. On my last race, I had a quicker ET and higher MPH than the eventual class winner, David Boggs, but he had more than 1/2 second better reaction time than me. I congratulated him for his win and told him since he beat me that he had to win all of the rest of his races, which he did. I was very happy with my final run even though I lost because my reaction time and my driving were better than any run previous. (Look out next year, David!)
Everyone is a Class Act at these events helping each other. Special thanks to my Viper Tech, Bobby Loder, who told me how to drive more aggressively.
My girlfriend, Nancie, had a great time as well. I have really bounced back from my divorce earlier this year and I can't imagine anyone better for me than Nancie. I'm still good friends with my ex-wife and I thank her for giving me the chance to find Nancie.
