Well after resetting my shocks, deflating the airbags, changing my burnout, and the track preparation being SIGNIFICANTLY improved, the car was extremely consistent

Qualifying:
R/T .519 6.558 @ 103
R/T .650 6.523 @ 103
R/T .539 6.563 @ 103

1st Round
Dial: 6.57
R/T .550
6.572 @ 103

2nd Round
Dial: 6.57
R/T .560
6.600 @ 98 (backed off, looking at data would of run a 6.56

3rd Round
Dial: 6.58
R/T. .700 (Brain Fart graemlins/sad.gif )
6.578 @ 103

All my 60' with the exception of the 6.52 pass, ranged from 1.433-1.437

So after this race, it looks as though I will be still in 4th place in points out of around 93 cars with one race to go. Not bad for my second season of racing!! (Ended up 30th last year)

Congrats on the cars consistency and more importantly on your poitns standing! That's a pretty sizable field of racers and to be in 4th place is no small accomplishment graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Glad to hear things are working better, Mike. My 60's weren't extremely consistent varing from 1.62 to 1.64. But the car ran pretty consistent 7.40-7.42. BTW, I won my class. I expect to be 3rd or 4th after this race, maybe higher since some of the heavies went out early. We only have about 41 cars in my class. I won the final with a 7.410 on a 7.41 dial. That's cutting it a bit too close smile.gif .

Pat, congrats..thats tough to do. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I am the only one in the top 9 without any money... I have lost three times this year in the quarterfinals...and if I wouldn't have had a brain fart on round 3 this race, I know that the car was consistent enough to win some money..but I will try again in 2 weeks
