Default vid: Coach running down a dually

I was worried Coach was gonna fall a sleep waiting for his side of the tree to light up.

that dually must've been way off with his dial-in...it sounded like coach cut it at about the 800' mark.

the truck did look to be way off. I didn't see this one in person, as I was driving backt to the pit. A lot of the dial-ins were off. It was very hot and humid when were in the time trials... then the weather came in and it dropped what felt like 20 degrees and we were delayed by about 1 hour while drizzled a little bit

Thanks Dave for the vid.

The truck ran 2 over his dial. He was really late on the tree. He went .163 on the tree to my .031. I ran a 6.58 on a 6.54 dial.

My motor is a great LME 347 LS1. She purrrrrrrrs like a kitten.

oh...1/8 mile. that's why it sounded like you let off...because you did.

car looks real good.

i guess i should be a bracket racer, i consistently cut .01x and quicker lights...but until the tune, my car was inconsistent as hell. it was a guess as to how many times it would bump the rev limiter between shifts beforehand. i still did decent the one time i raced competition. i made it to the 3rd round, where i launched in 2nd gear would've been a great race had i not been overtaken with dumbassity. he was dead on his dial as was i the 2nd round. the sad part was, i still out 60'd him. 1.72 60' in 2nd gear, not bad heh. at least it didn't spin that time...

Nice job Coach. Waiting on the tree against a long spot can be a bitch (ask me how I know)!

Um, okay:

How about a 12.40 dial (me) versus a 24.54 dial?

This was a few years back when you could dial all the way to 24.99, and a guy with an old datsun pick-up dialed it in the 24 second range all the time. Did quite well too, made the division finals a few years. Gotta wonder how many races he won on really late bulbs or redlights.

Oh, on that race, my .013 to his .032, and the brakes got a big footcheck from me!
