afterward, “I have always enjoyed racing at Atlanta. There were 3 bikes there – Dale Nilles, Kirby Apathy and Janette Thornley so we qualified against each other once. The track was tricky due to no Alcohol Dragsters there and the temp. was a bit warm. I was consistent all weekend without any serious problems or failures. I qualified #2 behind Kirby Apathy and met up with him in the finals. I had a good run and Kirby blew a fuse on his bike – not the way I like to win. I would rather “Race for the Stripe” next time. “
