Yeah alot of cars were having problems with hooking. Later on sat is when my buddy cut his best 60' @ 1.07. And yes that old man working the tree was giving us hell because we were trying to setup the datalog on the lap top.

Yeah, in the afternoon was about the only time the track was worth a darn. Unfortunatly about 90% of the racing was done during the day both days. Waiting for the track to "come around" is for the birds. Congrats on the 60' though. 1.09 is moving out!

No, I got knocked out by Trent ( the leader in points right now). Chance is a really good racer. He raced jr. dragsters when he was younger and has alot of experience. His camaro is the car to beat in the 7.00 index right now.

. He is really consistent on the tree and keeps getting better every week at running the index. Are they building another Camaro?
