Dude, if you can't do better than that I want YOU in first round

Most of us would kill for those numbers! Wish I could've been there to see it.

The only "work" you need to do is to keep track of anything that may be a factor in your ET's & MPH.

You didn't say during what times of the day and the overall order of the runs you made. (i.e.: L, L, R, L, R.)
"Usually" early morning or later evening will provide best ET's with slower times in the middle of the day. Wind, weather fronts, humidity, temperature, jetting, water temps, shift points, etc., etc., etc. are all factors. You need to know why you were consistent that day and know how all the factors may affect that consistency in the future so you can predict and dial-in to compensate. Conditions may not be the same next time. If you are doing things consistently in the driver's seat, then it's that much less you have to be concerned about.

I have an Autometer playback tach which has been VERY helpful in keeping track of when I do things right or wrong and consistently or not.

MPH can be a good indicator of the affect a breeze/wind and its direction can have between runs.

Reaction times are as follows

Pass #1 .064 I knew I was way late as I had the delay box set up to go red if I was where I should have let the button go
Pass #2 -024 No delay box change and this is what I expected
Pass #3 -.005 Made change to delay box
Pass #4 .027 added to much time
Pass #5 .027 Left box alone should have removed some time but I hate to second guess that darn thing.
I also have much better reaction times in the right lane as I don't have to look across the hoodscoop If I where bottom bulb racing my hood scoop in the left lane would be a real problem.

I ran 5 11.60's at martin over the weekend.I say it was because I was pitted next to Mr P-body and it rubbed off.

Those are some great passes!

Sometimes you get on a roll and it just happens like that.

I did something similar when I won on the 4th of July.

Ran 6 9.74's on a 9.74 dial, was killing the tree and cutting the stripe to .00_

I wish it was like that every week we could quit our day jobs lol.

P.S. I agree 100 percent on the playback tach as I footbrake and shift the car myself and the 1 time my car didn't run a 74 (went a high 75) I replayed my run and realized I was short on the shift.
