The Hot Rod's 1st Bracket race of the season.
Please read the other post 1st. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
After Madman fixed the TQ arm we all went to Lone Star Raceway (Sealy, Tx).
Results as follows:
1st run
R/T .500
60ft 1.62
330ft 4.59
1/8 ET 7.23
1/8 MPH 86.27
The car spin real bad and I shut her down at the 3rd shift. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
2nd run
R/T .522
60ft 1.52
330ft 4.49
1/8 ET 6.88 WOW! She is flying!
1/8 MPH 101.76 Holy Moly! <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
What a great pass. You should of seen my Dad and Madman on the starting line doing back flips. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
3rd run
R/T .556
60ft 1.60
330ft 4.50
1/8 ET 7.09
1/8 MPH 92.13
I won the round easy. The other guy had a bad light and didn't run his number. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
4th run
R/T .572 Way late on the light. NOT GOOD!
60ft 1.57
330ft 4.53
1/8 ET 7.00
1/8 MPH 92.82
I lost this round. I had the guy covered even with my bad light but my hand sliped off the shifter going in to 4th gear and he just niped me at the finish line. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
I made one more pass just to check out the Hot Rod, to get more seat time and to prove Boo wrong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
5th and final run of the day.
R/T .512
60ft 1.57
330ft 4.53
1/8 ET 6.97
1/8 MPH 100.78
We all had a great time racing this weekend. Thanks to my Dad, my family, Madman & Co Racing and Thunder Racing for all your help. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />
No racing today(Sunday) I have to do the family thing.
Next week I will be racing at Lone Star Raceway Park. I will TNT on Friday night and race in 2 point races. 1 Saturday and 1 Sunday. Practice and seat time are the key to winning bracket races.
Good luck to everyone no matter what shop you come from.

Re: The Hot Rod's 1st Bracket race of the season.
Excellent! Any Idea what the 6.88 would have been in the quarter? Nice light! I cut a .501 and a .507, only to redlight in the third round last week. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: The Hot Rod's 1st Bracket race of the season.
Congrats!
My 10.82 run was a 6.88 99.XX 1/8th. I guess you could have ran 10.79 @ 126. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> in the 1/4. Just another damn car passing me....cause I can't race. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> but I also was running at 1000ft DA.
