I made it on FoxSports for racing again.

Here is a video from the TV show on FoxSports. Unfortunately this coverage is of me losing the final round in St. Louis. I did almost everything wrong that weekend and still made it to the final.


For those of you who don't race it will look like I won, since I took the finish line by a sizeable margin. ( I am in the Blue and White Car ). I didn't because I was .016 of a second too quick, even though I was on the brakes trying to make it closer. Usually in this class the car goes 184 miles per hour and I was nearly locking up the brakes to keep it close. I had a problem that we fixed just before the final round which resulted in better power and I just did a crappy job of driving on the top end.



Drag Racing is far more difficult than it appears...
 
Good job getting into the finals though. Definitely sounds a lot more difficult then just slamming on the pedal and holding on for dear life.
