So you didn't run a 14.0 as I predicted, you went even slower and a red light.

I've missed it a few times, but I'm usually red before I'm late green.

Nothing beats the time I watched a guy in an Acura RSX try to leave the light in reverse, lol, it still makes me chuckle to this day thinkin' about it.
He rolled passed the staging lights, backed up and forgot to take it out of reverse. EVERYBODY in the stands notices the guys' reverse light is still on too.....He attempted to leave at what sounded like somewhere north of 5000rpm and smacked his head on the steering wheel so hard his horn honked The crowd erupted in laughter and myself as I'm sure many others were literally in tears.

My first time at the track years ago I was in my mid 13 sec. '80 Z28 and was up against my buddy's 10 sec. pro-streeter. He was so loud I couldn't hear my car so I looked down at the tach, then I heard him roar, looked up, he was damn near half track and I was sitting there stunned. Cut a 3.5 second light.
