Correct. Red-light was set to 0.000 seconds. Another trivial detail concerning the tower was that they could not show a WIN on the time slips. Although this was a fun day, racers should know that a red-light is a foul, and the WIN automatically goes to the other driver.

Im going to post our epic battles down the strip when I was in Keith's G-they are all on tape, Ill post them later or tomorrow. Technically I beat you 3 out of 3 because I beat you legit first 2X-one of those by thousadths of a second and the 3rd you jumped too soon. Closest races of the day I believe and tons of fun

I believe that you are talking about car #1? I have several times slips at home, but if I remember right, later in the day I was sloppy and fouling right and left. Still, a photo finish at the wire is exhilarating.

I actually might be down for something on Saturday, but I would be heading back down this way to hit up a local show/hang out. Mike and I usually hit on the high school chicks that night, so I don't wanna miss out on that! Let me know what the plan is though!

Like I said above Id like to see you out at a track day, lets see what kind of times you can pull
Soon as the car is done Ill be out. You using secondary rev limit control on the utec? Anyone else out there running a utec using it.

I had a blast running you as well, Kirk told me he was going to post up my in car *** ups. Both runs when I missed a gear, his camera was in my car-those 2 runs were against you. I forgot how close of a finish I also had with you-it was something like .003 very close to what I beat davidd by. BTW-you type pretty good when your drunk lol...

LMAO "baby one more time"

Thanks for posting that always good to see the screw ups, I held my hand different for the 3-4 shift on the first run and I failed Second run my timing just looked off, luckily no nasty mis-shifts with grinding/dropping it into wrong gear. On those two runs I raced Mike (mdracer) as you can see in the 2nd run I gave it just enough gas to make it a photo finish beat him by a few thousandths of a second to the line Thanks for posting Kirk
