There's the rub with this race,,, could he? Well, clearly he did!

Ernie.... there's something on your chin.

If it wasn't for the 55 (or so) gallons of tire bite poured down the length of thee track there might have been a different winner. It was so bad I heard than an ATV got stuck at the 60' mark. They had to get it free with a crowbar. I think a set of E70-15 bias plies would have yielded a 10 second run on that infamous day...
