Thanks for the comments.

Yes, in short its handicapped racing. Its a way to allow us common people to race when the rest of the world know that money=horsepower and ultimately the win. In big buck racing, he with the biggest sponsor and largest wallet will take the majority of the wins. The class of racing I do is wide accepted across the nation and is standardized by NHRA. It still has a mechanics feel to it, cause your car needs to perform the same, time after time. The main determining factor is now back to skill of the driver with experience in knowing what to run/dial, and their reaction time at the light. My reaction times were awesome as 8 years of racing in the same car has allowed me to refine it over and over again. The variable that threw me off was how much I was going to be effected by atmospheric changes. I know the answer to this question at my track, but where I was racing is MUCH different with the car pulling times almost a full second quicker than my home track. Again, since my home track will be the host of the 2008 division finals, I get home team advantage. I was seriously behind the eight ball with very limited experience at sea level tracks. Just about every track in division 6 is less than 1000 feet in altitude.

I have two more races this weekend, one on Friday and the Import closer on Sunday. I will keep all informed on my performance.

Thanks
