I don't know how it is for other thirdgen racers, but I find winning a race an accomplishment in itself. I'm not going to add calling the pocket to it.

I made over 60 final round appearances in a 3 year period. Where were you guys at then?

Well, you didn't actually say "wouldn't it be cool". And, "accomplishment" is a little different than "coincidence", wouldn't you say?

I'm certainly willing to help others learn how to race better - up to the limits of my own ability, of course. That's why I hang around here. I won't be able to help you much with cross talk or throttle stop or blower gears, though.

Three years ago I won 12 races, 5 additional final round appearances over the season (4 wins in 5 final round appearances in one weekend alone). I doubt that will be repeated, though. Not sure how many other TGO members won the same weekends I did.

Re: Everyone Wins on the same wk

well we did have quite the successful weekend i feel like. you and i both brought home wins, and there were several others who had great successful tnt nights. in a sense it is a win-win for most everyone here.

lots of builds going on and lots of success stories coming out of this board. i'd love to have a tgo drag race weekend some day...
