Second pass crappy burn out which I seem to be a pro at and I left a bit higher then spun a bit so you guessed it, pounded the brakes and prepared for what I thought was my last pass and then I got in the EX lane and they were closed. I asked if I could get in the street lanes for one last pass which I did before and the "new rules" say no so, never grabbed 3rd gear for the first time ever and again fell short so I'm goin back to street racing real soon where I seem to be a natural and do WAY better than at the track...........Worse two outings back to back ever since I started racing in the early 90's and why I hate the limitations of tracks but if I was legal then this crap wouldn't happen so it's my fault completely and that 1st pass would of been the one plus the billet carb worked flawless just like on the street................ 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

I have been down the track maybe 50 or 60 times and i can only remember leaving satisfied with my time slips 3 times. That track is the master humbler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIxaesJ190U http://youtu.be/lCZAaN7fFLg

I have nearly 500 passes in my current ride. Still working on it. It still has the same heads, cam, intake, carbs, compression, headers it started with 5 years ago. Started at 9.40, been a best of 9.04. It's time consuming and every change isn't always rewarding. Doug

You don't then pound on the brakes, you pound on the throttle. Problem solved.
