New best N/A

Well, I tried bracket racing (it's just not for me).

Dial in 12.65

First run: (not even close)
2.113 8.656 85.41 13.281 106.83

Second run: ( a little over)
1.880 8.067 86.67 12.622 108.17

New Dial in 12.60

Third run: (breakout)
1.742 7.900 87.09 12.456 108.21

Atleast I got a new best

Bracket racing takes practice. My camaro is currently "down" so I had my 1990 Lincoln at the track yesterday. It was running mid 18's, a real screamer... Anyway, went to the third round in Street when the mighty 4400 pound beast chirped the tires on the launch and the sixty foot time fell from a scorching 2.5 to a 2.8 and the rest is history. The 16 second heavilu stickered import cam flying by on the top end to ****** victory from the Lincoln.

You need to get to know your car, the weather, and how your body reacts to the environment. It took me an entre season before I won my first event, and I remember my opponents had a redlight or two and I had a bye run so there was some luck involved with that.

Did you have a good time?

Thanks, I just tried it because I've never done it before,
but I think I'm going to stay with heads up racing.

After I get the roll-bar in, I'm going to try for 10's on drag radial Well, I can dream

I like trying to go faster and faster, not sand bag to get the win, thats what most of these guys down here do (whatever )
