Nice cool crisp night. 1/8 mile race here, test and tune tonight, made one pass looking for 5.1 ran 5.124, spun a little on the launch so might have been to fast.

Made it to the semi finials, broke out by .006. they prepped the track before our run, the 60 foot improved dramatically. I drove around my opponent and stepped off the go peddle 100 feet before the finish line and still broke out. I'm learning. next time I will change my dial in (this is an ET race, not index). I also had a buy run with a reaction time of .002. Had another run with a reaction time of .020 and hit my dial in with a .006. Learning to tune.

No, but the body say yes, and after today I'm pretty down, cannot seem to put it together at the home track.

out in the first round. The other guy killed me with a .004 R/T and .034 over his dial.

It was sort of close, he passed over the finish line .068 seconds in front of me.

The track deceived not to pay for the semis last night because they didn't have enough vehicles.

Not sure when I will be going back to Empire.

I'll get over my funk later tonight
