I get a green light .048, and run 8.995, with a win. Won next round , on brakes, with a .030 light, with a 9.036 et. Won 3rd round with a .023 light, 8.982 et, opponent went red. Lost 4th round , Red light -.023 , with a 8.981 et. All passes were 148 m.p.h. except when I was on the brakes. I dialed car at 9.00 . I could only dial 9.00 , that was the class cut off at Maple Grove.
I usually run at Numidia Dragway. Best et was 9.04, up to 9.15 , this year.

Saturday we ran 9.033, and lost 2nd round.
Sunday we ran 9.000 and got rained out part way thru 2nd round. Car was running good.
