RacerJJ Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) Anyone who know anything about drag racing knows what the "Wally" is and how much signicance it holds...With that being said, I finally won one after 3 years of trying at the Summit Series/King of the Track event at California Dragway on Sunday. I had to win my category (Sportsman, approx. 70 cars) then I had to race the winners of the other categories (Super Pro, Pro, and Motorcycle) to win the Wally. It was the best day of racing in my entire career thus far. And...Best of all, I DID IT IN MY SS!!!!!!!!!

stealth03ss Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 call me a newb too but this is the kind of drag racing were you have to be consistent, not the fastest right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerJJ Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yes, it's the kind of racing where you have to be consistent not fast and God knows, I aint that fast. In the semi's of the King of the Track race, I had to race a motorcycle...very hard to judge them at the finish line. Anyway, I won that race on a double breakout (he went too fast for his dial-in and so did I, however he went further under his dial-in than I did). In the final of the King of the Track, I dialed 14.74 and ran a 14.740. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that just blind, stupid luck or are you really that good at judging your times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
