When you say "best" it can be taken two ways, most fun, and best finish. I'll tell you my most fun.
It was on a Tuesday night instead of my usual Saturday afternoon. My truck stalled at least once in all three qualifiers and was really starting to bug me. I ended up second to last in the B-Main(12 drivers in both A and B). At the start I was in second and the leaders car died and was off the track for a couple of laps and I had lapped the rest of the field twice(everyone else had troulbe or didn't even start). But all of a sudden at the end of the straight my truck died when I hit the brakes. I thought noooooooooo!!!! Not again! I truck was ferried over to the side of the track and I attempted to restart it with my pull starter. After a ton of yanking it finally fired and I set my truck back on the track just a few seconds behind the new leader who had gone off the track at the start of the race. When I went past the timing loop the race director read my lap time: 154...seconds(usual is around 30) I battled for the lead for the next two laps and passed him on the last lap and won the bump up to the A-main. I mad some tweaks to my low speed mixture figuing it was lean due to it stalling at the end of the straight. I started 7th in the A-main at the back and finished 4th. I went to check my lap times hoping I had broken my 30 second barrier and found out I had run 29's for four laps in a row. I was so excited at the now 11:30 p.m. I didn't fall asleep until after one.
