My 1st 1.45, 60' Vidio, pics, & time slips

It's been a long time coming, and now I got to figure out how to get to 1.3x in 60feet.

Boost was between 10 and 12 lbs, launch rpm was 6K. DA was 3300 to 2800.
Track was good, when I stayed in the grove (note 1st run a little to the left)

I want to say you have only one good reaction time but compared to your competition in the 2 rounds of eliminations your were in, yours are all still good. Except for that red light.

If you don't red light, you're not trying hard enough.

Thanks, I think.
I am still learning all this stuff, only did a few rounds of bracket racing back in the 70's.
BTW Stephen, you have a great web site. There is a weath of knowledge that any dragracer should read, http://www.hardtail.com/techtips.html
Thanks for that . ---Bill.
