Well, it was a very hot and humid day today. We had DA's of 3029 Ft. (I just picked the time for my last run to calculate the DA, but suffice it to say, it was bad all day.). Steve and I ran heads up for our first run in the T&T, and he out pulled me by a bit on the top end. We ran 2 rounds of qualification, and we both made it into the competition. We were pitted against each other for the first round, and I beat him by .06, which by the way was about the same amount as I beat him in reaction time. So, we were pretty well matched up. I told him before we ran, that it would probably come down to who had the best reaction time, and it did. I guess I had a bit of an advantage as it is my home track, and I am used to the trees. Anyway, from there, I made it to the finals, and was up against a turbo 240SX that was running 12.4s all day to my 12.7s, so I figured I would get second. I hit a near perfect reaction time, and beat him off the line. His turbo spooled up around the 1/8th, and he started reeling me in..... In the end, I beat him by a fender. Dang, that last 100 or so feet seemed like a mile to me. LOL I won a very nice/big trophy and a $200 purse.

Anyway, we had a great day despite the heat (no rain), and Steve and I are 1 and 1 since he inched me out in the T&T, and I inched him out in the eliminations. Steve said that next time he wants to meet up in Gadsden to settle the score.

I will take a picture of the trophy in a bit and post it on here.
