I am guessing since it was heads up that it was a pro tree?

Yup. Yesterday and my first run today it owned me. My last run was pretty much as good as it was going to get for me. The NSX staged slow so it gave me time to get my revs all the way up to 3200 this time and not 2200-2500 like my previous runs. I jumped out a car on him and held it up to the 1/8th and he put a car on me at the last half of the track. He ran 13.0 to my 13.4. I'll scan the slip soon and make a thread about it in the drag section.

I have a feeling a threw away my .24 slip by accident..... I'm not worried about it though...it only bumps me up one spot on the list. I still have my .30 and .32 from Fri though. Hopefully I can best it before winter anyway. I have trouble with the pro tree because I have to stabilize the revs around 5000-5300, and it is touchy with the OS clutch.

Well it was a hell of a long racing day. Rubbed elbows with the regulars, Lv2DC_Z and ajcool2, and met some new racers.

I got called to the timing tower several times. Once to tell me that I did not make Quick 16, once to tell me that I was in the Quick 16, and the final time because I lost to myself ( the explanation made little sense to me, but I just let it go and ran ET. )

Won two ET rounds. The third ended about 11 PM.

LOL. Everything was cool after the first round of A/S. Half the racers were gone. Plenty of parking.

I get migrains alot. Well I guess 2 days of 12 hours at the track really triggered a bad one. I couldnt see out my right eye. Almost had to call the paramedics to get me to the base. I did get escorted by my flight chief to the ER though.

Get yourself to some T&T's and dial it (and you) in. .04 on a pro tree is impressive.

1/8 is all you need. You only shift once in the second 1/8. 99% percent of the driver fail happens in the first 330'.

Yeah I think I remember seeing your car. You have a red lip around your rims right? But yeah practice makes perfect. At least your out there trying. I know many people that are too scared to even come near a track because they are scared they might run a bad time.
