Default Re: The newest drag racer gears up!

The latest, we went to Englishtown this past Sunday and got 3 time shots - a rarity! Ben was flirting with the red bulb with some .00x lights, not my favorite as I'd rather have him in the .0xx teens or low twenties. Well, we used our Kestrel and log book to perfection - found a previous run that matched that day's weather and the car's weight and it actually ran within 2 hundreths!

We leave the weight on, and dial a 13.20 for round 1. Ben cuts a .005 light, and the car runs a 13.202 - oh, forgot to mention it was .005 RED! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] Bummer, the other kid had a .3xx light and would have run under.

Oh well, there's always another day, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Relaxing in our luxury, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
