They rolled you thru at 30 mph ???? Wasn't the old shooters course a standing start mile.??? If anybody is going 30 mph at the start, that is a huge advantage !!!!

I liked the new format at Capt. Ron's. I see some didn't like the rolling start but I thought it was cool.
Congrats to all that won. From the 91mph Pontoons to the Skaters that were all within a 1mph until the end. That was awesome.

I think you meant to say Skater and MTI. Bob Bull's MTI ended the battle of the Skater vs MTI drag race winning both times and also had the second highest top speed of 177. David Scott posted an incredible 196 with an alcohol piston engine Mystic.

What David Scott did was incredible. Huge difference from old course, they rolled us thru at 30MPH which was a huge dis-advantage to many. If it were like the old days with higher speeds allowed at start I am sure alot would have posted higher speeds.
