2020 was his rookie season and I looked back to see what his RTs were, on the theory that ‘something’ magic was found in the last few years by him or a crew member. Well… he was just as good from the get-go. Hardly ever had worse than .060s and many below .050. Including a .001 at Indy, a .017 and .020 at other events etc. Not sure if crew changed since then but now makes me think it’s all him.

No real bargains there for hotels, the few they have. They all jack up their rates for that weekend (speaking from experience).
i wouldn't think age would be a major factor since the 'Reaction Time' Stat is kind of a misnomer. An instant Green tree would be more of a test for true reaction. The fact is, the driver knows when the green is coming on .2 secs? after the amber. I think it's more of a matter of your ability to concentrate and your timing. Over The years, there have been drivers alot older than Erica who constantly nail the tree

IMO the cory reed/joey gladstone win in PS was the pro highlight of norwalk. matt h. with big win in callout. the kb/titan performance parade continues.
i do not follow PSB, but john hall with the big win, getting help from matt smith i believe. first win in 12 years i think the broadcast said. good for him.
justin ashley and team are definitely finding their groove.
i've tried a few r.t. practice devices. it's hard. with any consistency even harder.

I though that Sunday's elimination rounds were some of the most exciting racing of the entire season. You never knew who was going to advance. It was fun to watch!

Busted up Ron Capps and Smoke's wallet, both good story lines...

Justin Ashley is a villain? One of the nicest guys I've met and talked to at the trsck.

Like the "Pinball Wizard"??
Suspicious funding based on history.

The parent company that owns SKAG owns the team. Is that suspicious funding?
Negative. I'm referring to seed money prior to sponsorship dollars.

Bingo. Like I said...suspicious.

Justin got a pardon? For what? What did he do?
Justin is the most respectful, kind, honest, young man that I know.

Ashley is indeed lightning quick. But .001, .017 and .020 in a top fuel dragster can pretty much be chalked up to good guesswork. They're not Pro Stocks. If it were indeed "all him" I believe you'd see two or more consecutive rounds with equally quick RTs but you don't.
Example, his RTs at this year's Winternationals were .027, .042, .060, .033, and .040. Gatornationals, .051, .042, and .040. New England, .033, .062, .034, .050, .042 and .042. Great RTs that will win races, all else being equal. And his car is starting to show the consistency it needs to go rounds (he's third in points).
I like the friendly little guy. I would hope that no one still believes that whatever shadow still follows his old man is a reflection on Justin's character.
Suspicious of what? You don't know that and sorry, but that's terribly unfair.
You're right. I apologize for the unfair comments.
seems rough to blame the kid for things his Dad was apart of.
