We've learned that for most of the weekend we were showing Jeff Agalsoff as racing a dragster. That was an error and we are sorry. Seriously, we are. Anybody racing a door car in Super Comp deserves all the publicity they can get because it sure isn't easy.

We also understand that in honor of Jeff racing here at the US Nationals on Labor Day, his wife booked a last minute flight from California so she could see him in action. That's a very cool thing and without being biased we hope her trip is going to be worth it.

In one of those strange quirks of fate, we're in the 5th round of SC, there are two door cars left (amazing), and they're running each other (spooky).

It's a double breakout, so you can read the numbers yourself and either jump for joy or weep depending on your point of view.
