Looks like Bad Penny did not win he got 4th place not 1st place I wonder how the Optima guys messed that up. I am sure alot of guys are not going to be happy with the outcome.

Isn't the final results more what you thought they would be after seeing everyone compete? I think this is a very fair result.

Why would be unhappy? Optima made a mistake and had the class to correct it.

Most of the guys in the "winners circle" asked Optima to recheck the numbers. Winning isn't everyting, integrity is.

I for one am thrilled with how we did.. next year we will do better!

How about that 0-60-0 for 2Tons-O-Fun??????? 8.5, no wonder I broke parts...

13th out of 51 cars, not bad for a sled and handicap driver. Stuart you are right, tires make a huge difference. Even my 888s were like a knife at a gun fight with the R-1s etc. In my mind though 888s are streetable, not sure I can call R-1s street tires at least wet streets.

Must have been those lousy Interstates that fatigued the A arm! LOL

Hey! It looked like you were having fun! And that's what counts - you were in it to win it... driving like you stole it... and thank you for that!!
