It an unbelievable ride. 8 races, 7 finals. 6 wins and 1 split due to rain. 36 out of 37 rds won. This year's 20 rd win streak stopped with a red light last night. Time try it again today.

A successful race program requires planning, mechanical prowess and driving ability. You sir, have all three. Congrats!

Unbelievable is right. Car and driver here are one bad unit. Plus, overcoming all the odds in the beginning of the season makes this streak even more spectacular.

Well I tried to get it done today. Wild weather swings of over 1000ft D/A change in the first few hours. Car was dead on the A/FX index (9.25). 9.254 in the 1st rd. the trouble set in for the 2nd rd. I got greedy an set it to run dead on at 9.250. It picked up .005 in 60ft when I expected it might slow down. Tight race as we both broke out by .0046. Had to go to .0000X to determine the winner (not printed on the slip). I was late and should have lifted as I didn't think I was going to get there. As it turned out he had me by .028 at the stripe. A couple week layoff and w'll try again.

If you don't red light now and then your not trying hard enough, per Bill Bagshaw a long time ago work
Sometimes it pays to listen to your inner self, especially when drag racing work up

Doug, Congratulations. That's a hell of a streak. Mind giving us an idea of the average reaction time it takes to go on a streak like this? I'd guess an average of .015 or so?? If not, I understand. Just trying to get a glimpse into the success zone LOL.

You still won one race this past weekend - so the winning streak really continues! - but it was nice of you to let others take a win also!

You know you are doing good when they put a bounty on your head!

Not as good as you would think. This is all non electronic, no staring line chip. I vary the R/T with starting line rpm. Try to hit my number within 50 rpm between 2700-3200. Also the weight of the car changes rd to rd to stay on index. My average was .035 this year. Only 3 runs over .042, only 4 runs less than .020. I've tried to sneak it closer,then you risk red. The key has been the car. Runs 9.25 index on 10.5 tire footbrake. The tuming to get it there has been a big part. Its been dead on .00x 70% of the time. There has been some luck for sure. But I've also had more than a few tight pacs as well, best .006.

Pretty safe to say you’ll own that record around here for a good long time. So obviously word got around Did you find people doing stupid stuff when they lined up against you?
