Ran in the Modern Muscle event at Atco today and other than my first time shot the car ran 11.51x every run. Paul(againstallodds1) and I were in the finals against each other and I ran a damn good package running 11.510 on my 11.51 dial with an .020 reaction time. Unfortunately, Paul's CO2 bottle ran out and his boost controller didn't function correctly so he was way off his dial.

I got pulled into the quick 8 afterwards which I knew I didn't stand a chance...got lucky on my first run when my opponent red-lighted and I managed to cut my first perfect .000 light!

Then Paul got his revenge on me running a low 10 second run against my 11.5x run. The quick 8 is a heads up race so I didn't have a chance.

Congrats. It looks like you definitely had a good spot picked out on the tree today.

The last one with the red light was a time shot...I went red on both of them trying to figure out when to launch on the tree today.

Heh...no vids from me...didn't want to be messing with my cell phone on the windshield. Wanted to get down to business and get rid of all of the distractions so no vids, phone off the windshield.

I do have this video of Paul in the quick 8 final....unfortunately it's a cell phone vid from the start line.

Was great seeing you again...just a shame that you only had 1 time shot and no seat time with the car after the recent changes.

Yeah, wish I had more time with the changes too, but 11.4 is good with added weight, and lowering the gears.. let me know when going back to Atco

WOW those are consistent times. I can only dream of running that close back to back. Great job!!

no kidding lol... I was caught sleeping all day long @ the tree yesderday..

That's just awesome man! Back when I was doing this a lot, we would call a guy like you "The Calibrator". Hitting consistent times like that shows everyone the tree and trap are operating properly!

Very good job you did of it man, a well earned and deserved award!

^I agree with him with it being that dialed in you may be able to do like few of us actually do... Make money with your car instead of it being a money pit lol. Great job on that .000 light to means you were dialed in just as good as the car.

Thanks for the compliments everyone...I'm still amazed with the car...this power level is definitely the sweet spot for consistency. I'm actually thinking of playing with a delay box and running on Tuesday nights in the gamblers races. It would be great if I could take out some dragsters but I know that's a difficult task for sure.

I WAS going to go. I would have filmed it all for you guys but ended up just installing my LCAs and Sways.
