Thanks to everyone for the good thoughts.

Today (Sat) started the team bracket finals after finishing the Friday gamblers race. They ran round 1 of all three classes (Top, Mod, jr dragster). And I won my round, so I will be racing round 2 on Sunday for team MIR (Maryland International Raceway).

The weather was much better today, it was 63F and 26% RH. So I took the 45 lbs out of the trunk, but left the ignition timing set back 2 degrees from Friday (31 total now). My car went 5.853 on a 5.86 dial-in during a double break-out with the other racer taking the stripe by 0.0006, but he ran under by more than I did (I had a better RT).
