I won 4 rounds of eliminations today. This was the first time that I made it to the finale round.

In the 5th and finale round I was up against # 7055, and lost by 3/100 seconds. Still, winning round after round and retuning to the staging lanes to race again is one hell of a rush!

Note to those unfamiliar with Summit ET Racing. The 6:06 PM time slip shows that I raced alone and won. That is referred to as a buy. There were 3 cars remaining. The car with the best reaction time from the previous race gets the buy.

 

Big smile after returning from a win.






Special thanks to big guy Shawn Fournier for photos. Shawn raced #1 above, a company car. Race what ya brung.

 

great job david.

 

keep up the good work david!!!

 

Great R/T on that last run. that must have been a good race! You have the dial in as I usually use.

 

Good job David,So I guess you liked the pics cool huh. Thanks for everything had a blast!https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/icon17.gif

 

hmm.... BAGGER!!!!!



good job whooping up on the american guys.

so was it really hot or were you baggin just a bit there buddy..

 

The 5:03 time slips says 89 degrees. My practice ET was better, but as the long day wore on, I changed dial-in. In the finale round I considered sandbagging, then braking at the 1,000 mark. But the guys that I was running against were too experienced to fall for such a dumb trick.

 

i have the ultimate bagging idea. its almost failproof


i would do runs and only use nitrous in 4th gear. that should land me mid 12s. when the guy i am racing sees he is ahead of me by a nice bit, he will let off. as soon as he even lets off the gas, he would be finished....


i think it would work everytime!!

 

LOL. Selecting a dial-in might be tricky. Try it . Tell us how it works.

 

i just need some more time in my week and i will do it. maybe next week. we have a fun little road racing event in gainesville florida this weekend. after that its back to drag racing for a while....

 

david, you have a manual trans right? great job going that many rounds. im a horrible bracket racer

 

Thanks for the compliment. Yes. Manual transmission.

 

I wish I was experienced enough to bracket race.. I've only been to the drag strip a handful amount of times.. On top of that our track sucks - prep isn't great, we have pretty sh1tty conditions, and they're open only on certain days..
