#5263, "3rd place at import wars this past saturday (but no trophy)"
I went to New England Dragway to the import wars this past saturday and took 3rd in the slick class (bracket racing, naturally).
I advanced with some good runs and good reaction times to the final three in the class. I couldn't get the bye run and had to line up against the local ringer who usually wins the event.
If there was a day he could have been beat, yesterday was it. I had him off the line with a better reaction time, but I bogged the launch and he won the race. They only give trophies for the top 2 in the class, but 3rd still is a good showing.
So for the 2 bracket racing events I raced in this season (I missed going to one import event this year) I have taken 2nd place and 3rd place. I'd say that is a pretty good start to the season, and good preperation for the shootout!
