Alright, new race day for us but it didn't really end any different than the day before. Both Wilbur and I ended up at the buyback booth for first round. My journey to the walk of shame began with a red light. I did go on to win the buyback round nevertheless. Unfortunately I went on to red light again with a -.003 light in 3 rd that ended my day in street ET. In street fighter on my old no bar KZ 1000, I left the line with my opponent and ran a side by side pass the entire 1320'. As we crossed the line he had a half a tire out in front and crossed the line first, ending my day in that class. Next up was top gas where I was #4 qualifier. I paied up with an old acquaintance so I knew it was going to be a tough round to win. I did my burnout and as I was rolling up to the tree, the bike started sounding kinda funny. I got to the tree and started to roll on the throttle to activate the two step and the bike gagged a bit but settled down. The tree came down, I released button and the bike left but stumbled and began to run on two cylinders. I immediately pulled to the side of the track and watched my opponent fade out of site, turning on his win light. I knew right away what occurred with the bike without checking. I failed to turn the fuel petcock on when we rolled it out of the trailer this morning. Oh well. Race another day.
