After complaining how bad my reaction times were last weekend I made a little change this week.
First time trial wasn't great but a little improvement. I staged the usual way, just lighting the staged light. - got an .097.
Second time trial I just lit the staged bulb and then took two bumps in. - went .011 red -close
third time trial I just lit the stage bulb and went one bump in - .072 - so Ok looks like I need about 1.5 bumps.
First elimination run - took my 1.5 bumps - Boom - .004 R/t - Cool! Won crossing the stripe on the brakes. Compeitior ran out.
Second elim run - found out my R/t earned me a bye run if there was an odd number of cars. One guy couldn't get started - looked like I had the bye - at last second he got started. Took a single bump - .075 light to his -.022 red.
Third round - I got the carry over bye run - .046 light - OK!
Fourth round - Lost by 84 ten thousandths of a second. I ran .02 over my dial to his .08, but he got me on the tree - his .014 to my .057.
Anyway, still more fun going rounds.
Temp was up to 95 or so in they lanes so between the temp, the overall DA (over 3,100 at one point) and not staging as shallow, car slowed down by a lot. lowest ET of the day was 11.956 @ 113.05.
