Racing the Deuce

[sYc]

For some reason RA was really hooking, not only twisting and pulling the front end, but to the point of wanting to jump to the right on takeoff. At Newport you can stand anywhere you want, including near the starting line. On one of my passes, several folks had decided the best place to stand was on the right side of the track, with RA in the right lane. There is no guard rail on the right side, so when I launched, they thought I had them.

This reminded of a story Bill S, told me about doing the same to a few photographers.


Though both the Deuce and RA run 6.80s in the 1/8, I sure came away with a new appreciation of how easy the Deuce is to race in comparison to RA. Both fun though, each in there own way.
