I will be there, and I'll finally have some sticky tires.
I'll sure be ready for those Camaros.

As far as beating a faster car, if you tree them hard enough off the line you can beat a car thats half a second faster. At FFW during qualifying I ran a 13.4 against a car that ran 12.9 and I won. Because my reaction time was alot better so I was able to cross the finish line before he could get around me. So as long as your quicker off the tree, then they have to catch and get around you for the win. Some guys with a faster car will give up the race if you tree them hard enough and they don't realize they still have a chance. Thats what I love about racing, its not always the faster car that wins. Sometimes its the faster driver.
