perfect light axiom #49

states that after a perfect light, you'll be late on your next run...i.e. Karen Stoffer at Columbus. Karen had her first NHRA national event perfect light in round one against Shawn Gann...next round cut an uncharacteristic .088 light and lost on her first NHRA national event holeshot 7.112 to Matt Guidera's 7.125. BTW, Karen is 5-1 in the holeshot w/l category.

Bazemore v. Capps

Couldn't resist some stats on the matchup...
Bazemore is ahead in the overall matchup (racing funny cars I mean). They have raced each other 35 times since 1997. Whit leads with a win/loss record of 20-15. Whit also leads in first round wins with a 11-4 record. In final round matchups they are even 2-2. Whit has won in the finals over Capps at ETOWN 2003 and Seattle in 2001. Ron's 2 wins over Whit in the finals came at Memphis in 2000 and Brainerd in 2001. Capps owns a quicker et and mph against Bazemore, his best are a 4.743 and 323.66 to Whit's best of 4.780 321.42.
