Default good and bad...

well, tonight was High School night Eliminations, we do bracket racing, but i did have the fastest car in the group, 2nd time to the track and i made it to the semi's, first 2 runs were easy, third was a bye and i was lucky for that cuz i set my ET at 13.55(my best time ever) and i pulled 13.546 so i got bye there. in the semi's i go and i think i'll bo good, no way ill break 13.55 again, well i begin to take my lane but am forced over into the other lane which i have not used all night, needless to say this is the good and bad part, well i lost the bracket but got a brand new PR of 13.423@103.85with a 1.978 60'... so the night wasn't a total loss, never thought i'd break the 2.0's or 13.5 with the stock A4, neway im done and am goin to sleep!

Hey, 4 rounds is not bad at all.

Did ya cut a good light in that last round?

Driving the top end of the track and not breaking out is a art form.

Sweet! that you are a Cowboys fan like me.
