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. Doug 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.

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. 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. Doug
