Default new best pefect RT.

Did this the other week and thought I would post it up. I really didnt think this was possible. While I have been drag racing for three years I did this my first time ever bracket racing.

He only finished .4 ahead of the other guy and with the 30 MPH difference, he probably didn't even catch the guy til the 1000'.

DAAAMNNNN! nice Rt. I am waiting for the day I get one i usually rip .01 -.03 RT's. on an off day .08's but that is still good enough to get the jump on most.

It is soo hard to catch someone when they get that big of a gap, lol. Hate those huge gaps.

Ha, the 1000' is plenty of time to get on the brakes! And 4tenths is an insano amount of space to cross ahead! Seeing that he was 30mph faster he could have just scrubbed the brakes a little once he passed him, especially since i assume he was dialing honest. But hey WILLIAM SS pushin it kinda close to red eh! lol Awesome job on the tree though!

Congrats on the perfect light, but next time tighten up the stripe.

Great light man!! You definitely won the first half of the race. The second half is equally challenging and it'll come with time. Once you start closing that gap you'll be the one to beat.

Congrats!

Guys check this out. My car is currently in the shop right now maintence and different ****, changing a few things. So me and my girlfriend take the neon to the track for test-n-tune and I decide to run it for fun just to see what it would do, first pass another perfect light. I did this last night now my 2nd within a month. I was starting to think this is more common than I thought or I just got extreamly lucky twice.

It is definitely not common. You're just getting the hang of the tree. Congrats. I've hit a perfect tree once. I was excited as all get out too.
