Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

As ya'll can probably tell I didn't do very well at the races. I ran the Division 7 Allstar Art Hoover first round of the National and beat him. We were both .006 on the tree and he turned me loose on the top end and gave me the win. I ran one our Division 4 guys Mike Feeler in the second round. We were pretty even on the line and I screwed it up at the finish line trying to take as little as I could. I gave him the finish line by around .010. In the Allstar race I was actually the #1 Qualifier with my one and only full time trial. Who did I get to run? Art Hoover of course. He had a little mph on me but I'm faster in the 1/8th mile. So I'm thinking I caught him off guard the first time when I came around him the first time. In my head I'm thinking he will race me different this time. We had a drastic change in weather and wind so everybody was fast. I slowed mine down quite a bit but it was still set up too hot. I was .006 on the tree again to Arts .005 the race was at the end of the track. I go past him like last time and wait for him top match my speed and I start driving on him. I was just easing back into him holding a wheel on him. He turned that wheel into three or four in the end. He parked that 156+mph car at 140mph and dropped me on my head. He's a good driver and his car has damn good brakes! Art ended up winning the Allstars along with Division 7. Our Division finished second by one round in the end.
