Well I didn't get any new best time but had a blast.

run #1 (raced a 70 Nova w/383 stroker,got him by 1/10)
r/t .011
60' 2.173
330 5.972
1/8 9.093
mph 79.03
1000 11.799
1/4 14.088
mph 98.41

run #2
r/t .002
60' 2.127
330 5.846
1/8 8.925
mph 79.58
1000 11.605
1/4 13.869
mph 99.49

run #3 (ran a new Magnum, left him at tree by 5/10, but
he ran me down at finish line and went 13.444, margin of
victory was .0557, fun race)
r/t .070
60' 2.189
330 5.935
1/8 9.006
mph 80.03
1000 11.673
1/4 13.936
mph 99.54

run#4 (spun bad off line and just short shifted to the finish)
r/t .062
60' 2.324
330 6.116
1/8 77.32
1000 12.037
1/4 14.356
mph 97.22

run#5
r/t .179
60' 2.202
330 5.913
1/8 8.983
mph 79.73
1000 11.659
1/4 13.929
mph 99.16

My mph was down about 1.5mph from best. I'm pretty sure this was due to the 20-30mph headwind that I looked up on the weather chanel for our area. It was freaking windy and had to drive straight into it. I almost matched my best time on run #2 w/ less mph but I tried something new, POWER-SHIFTING...I think it works, I didn't have the guts to try the 2-3 shift but I did pull 1-2 and 3-4 shifts perfect...Went w/ Vinyl66 who also ran slower mph. I really think I could have had a new best had it not been for the strong winds..all in all it was still a blast and made it home in one piece..

Nice times. I can't wait till it dry's off enough up here to get to the track.

good times. your reaction times are inconsistant, but that is normal, but your 60ft times are consistant, and that is good. overall good trip.
