Tom Scardinia has raced every Antique Nationals since the first one in 1970. This race was in 2017 I believe, and we were within 1000th of second of our dial in times and a great fun race. Thanks to @carhoppindaddy for catching the video. AN Eliminations are ran bracket style, where you dial in your E.T. (21 seconds for 20 seconds for me), so Tom got a one second lead while I chased him down the 1/4 mile. If you go too fast, you break out and lose. This year only for the 4 banger class we will have both 1/4 mile bracket race, and an 1/8 mile heads up elimination, two chances to win. #antique_nationals #4ever4cylinder #hopuplive #autoclubdragway
