WE are baffled my car was running 8.0's all day today then my brother pulls the pass of his life out of his ass he smokes the tires good launches like never before. the front suspension tops out and the nose never drops between shifting gear and I knew it was gong to be a hell of a pass in the high 7's and then my jaw drops as well as every one in the tower. he ran a 7.24. this is not a typo.

Not possible with your HP.
Post up a pic or scan of the timeslip for analysis.
If you notice my 1/8th time is similar to yours except I have nearly 200 rwhp more than you.
That should tell you something.

+1...

Something similar happened to my wife once about 2 years ago. She had been running 7.1s to 7.3 all day at 95-96 mph, with 1.6 60-ft times. Then bam... she runs 6.74, with a 1.13 60-ft time, but still at 96mph.

Turns out she rolled through both stage beams. So she was asking the starter what to do (back up and restage, or just stay there?). He gestured to her to just stay there, but when the tree came down, her amber lights never flashed. The car in the other lane left, and she was confused. The starter just motioned for her to go. Since her front tires were already out of the beams, the rear tires tripped the starting beam. So the timeslip showed a 60’ time of 1.136. And the scoreboard flashed 6.74… it was funny.

Take it easy on him fellas. It is not his fault if the track is to blame...

I still don't see a timeslip. Could have been many things from faulty clocks to trash blowing across the finish line beams.

Just kidding because you came in here a few weeks ago with some story about your brother posting or something. Take it easy, man, geez... you might hurt yourself.
