Upon further review of the slow mo video, the car crept forward as I was loading the suspension.. That little bit of forward roll was all it took to go red..
At the stripe, I could have easily played the fender game for the win.. So yes, I believe it was my race to win.. or lose..

Damn Don, that's too bad. I saw your car run yesterday and it was looking good. I like when your sitting at the light and the whole rear of the car goes up when your launching it. Are you loading up the convertor?

I know your pain. Last pass I made in Pro at RT66 I was dead-on with a 2. Unfortunately, I was also -.015 red. The other car was 2 tenths off with electrical problems.

Thats racing. Everyone does it, Personally I have now lost 1 round out of the money 5 times so far this year. Redlight, Breakout, Missing the tree, taking too much stripe, I've done it all, and if you haven't, you will.
Bottom line, keep having fun Don!

Ouch, that sucks when its over before you start...I made it to the money round at ORP this weekend with the new motor and got a bye run to the quarter finals because of I did a bad job at red lighting in the previous round…I cut a perfect .000 
….I lost in the quarter finals with a sleepy .076, but it was a blast!

Been there, Done that! Saturday I was consistent in time shots 11.516.11.512, dialed 11.52 went 11.528 opp 078,12.08 on 12.17 dial but I was -024 red every loss hurts when you run for points. Two weeks in a row,not including this week I had a bye run into the third round but there were an even # of cars. So at least I had lane choice.
