It was soooo crowded at Byron, I thought that I would have put up with the weed whackers for a few more runs... But I broke so it didn't matter...

It was horrible there today.

I waited 3 hours to run.
The line guy has bad control and no memory on who already ran.

I got one run in and called it a day.

Yep... Took so long to get one run in. When I got out there I thought I might not get another run in. Made an easy launch thinking I wasn't going to get too many more shots at it and a 1.7 60' would be better than a 2.2 spinning...

Here's a vid of the end of my T-56

Too bad cuz it looked like you were going to get him... I'm kind of ticked that I didn't launch it a lot higher. The tires held pretty good on the one launch I had.

Yeah, I really wanted to get that 10 sec slip this year. Kinda sucks that the tranny started working when I pulled it off the trailer. Now I'm thinking that I might go to GLD on Wednesday ang give it one more try. Going to call Amber tomorrow and if I think it's got more in it, I'll give it another shot. Otherwise it's going up in the air and the trans is coming out...

We were going to leave around 1:30 as well but stayed because our buddy was still running brackets with the Buick club. Around 2:00 the lanes started thinning out. I got in the lanes at 2:00 and got to run by around 2:45. When we left at 3:15 the lanes were pretty much empty, you could have done laps at that point.
