Scan and post time slips.

I mentioned some time ago that you will do better with practice, and you did. Whatever you did during the 13.8 second run just do it again and again.

Your brain will run on, for lack of a better description, autopilot for 13.8 seconds. Getting it right will become automatic without “over thinking” every technique. You will get a feel how well the car is hooking up, and make adjustments as needed.

Circle your car number on the time slip. Makes it easy to read.

Assume that the 13.87 run is yours? Good work. 2.0 second 60 foot time is possible. I see 13.7X seconds for you soon.

yeah its mine! go to youtube. i posted the vids up and watch them in high definition. you can see them and my girl says the times of each car. my car number is 300.
my best 60ft was 2.1 when i ran the 13.8. i really hope to hit the 13.7 mark next time bud

when i went to englishtown my first time i had a similar run. i went 14.2, 14.6, then 14.4. now after some more practice and lowering my tire pressure to 28psi i did much better. almost a second faster from my worst run
i like atco better. better traction and not as crowded. i ran 8 times when i went to atco and on a sat it was only $25. englishtown only lets you run 3 times and its more money. im in the middle of both tracks too. 54 miles from atco and 55 miles from englishtown. next time you wanna go to the track let me know and we should go hit up atco
