it was funny as hell watching him leave the line and be 3/4 of the way down the track before his 10.0 competition would even leave the line to try to chase him down usually red lighting while watching him drive away at 60 mph
Ain't that the truth!! Age and expeirence will win out over youth and entusiasm every time...

Excuse the typo's, working off a tablet...
