Wow, it was an exciting weekend of racing to say the least as I was able to secure the 2013 Pacific Raceways Sportsman Championship and go to the final round in the final points race in pretty dramatic style too.<\/strong><\/p>\n My closest race of the day was in the very first rd against Bremerton Raceways John Barnett as I took the win by a mere .005, way too close for comfort I tell ya!<\/strong><\/p>\n I got a bye in the next round thanks to my .020 light against John and lo & behold I go and cut a perfect .000 light on this pass running 12.369 @ 105.91 mph.<\/strong><\/p>\n My 3rd rd race was another fairly close one as I got my opponent at about 1000 ft due to once again cutting a perfect .000 light.\u00a0 It was pretty comical when I pulled up to the time booth as Lori was just shaking her head in disbelief and I was shocked too when she told me what I did.<\/strong><\/p>\n My 4th rd race was a rematch from earlier in the season against Nick Douglas in his blue Dart as I had the reaction time advantage and forced him to break out running 12.105 on his 12.12 dial so I felt good getting a little redemption as previously I lost to him due to a redlight.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n My final round race was against a cool guy Larry Decamp in\u00a0his nice Camaro as we were basically heads up with my dial being 12.36 to his 12.33, we left pretty much together with him having the reaction time advantage and we were side by side all the way down the strip.\u00a0 I ran 12.369 to his 12.358 but just couldn’t quite make up the difference of .043 on the tree, had my worst green light of the whole weekend but he earned the victory for sure.\u00a0 I believe this was his 3rd win of the season, great job Larry.<\/strong><\/p>\n Final Round – Paul Young R\/Up, Larry Decamp Winner <\/p>\n You think the day is over, you are mistaken!\u00a0 This was also a King of The Track race so the top 2 points earners in each class paired off against one another for the Wally and lucky me I had to face the 2013 Pacific Raceways Super Pro Champ Steve Beggerly.\u00a0 I unfortunately went red for the first time of the weekend by .018 as I knew that needed a great light but unbelievably Steve redlighted too by .002 but due to me being the slower car I lost, sure would’ve been nice to take him out as that would’ve been a nice accomplishment to cap the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n I want to say thanks to everyone for all of their loving support this year as always, glad I was able to bring home a 2nd Track Championship for team Edwards & Young Racing and my 1st partnering with West Family Racing.\u00a0\u00a0 I learned a lot over the year, especially at the ET Finals in Spokane as drag racing is a very humbling sport but you have to perserve and learn from both your ups & downs to make you a better racer & teammate.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hope to see you all in the coming weeks at the team\u00a0banquet, hopefully this time I will manage to make it there without having to use crutches!\u00a0 LOL<\/strong><\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/strong><\/p>\n Paul Young<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n httpvh:\/\/youtu.be\/SYwyf2k2zNA<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Paul Young Paul put down two perfect reaction times back to back <\/p>\n 1.
