Watching the video of the 3rd round loss, I can see I (not intentional) shallow staged. Wouldn't have made a difference since the car didn't run the number but it explains my RT.

Agree it was an aggressive dial but the car definitely slowed down. I wasn't running it out all night and the weather was improving. I made one hit after the final round done and it ran a 10.32 @ 130 with a short 1-2 shift.
Originally had 10.34 on the window but my app predicted a 10.28 based on conditions. It is usually pretty darn accurate (got me to the finals in Yakima 2 weeks ago) but for whatever reason it was way off the mark on this run. Only variable was the car was hot having just made a pass 15 minutes prior.
Here's a comparison of my 2nd qualifier and round 3. You can see the conditions had improved quite a bit yet the car went slower. Again, it was after a hotlap so that was the only variable with the car.
It's my 2nd favorite. I absolutely love the track in Vegas.
Well you lost .007 in 60 foot so remembering that you are running 1/4 mile that’s big. Gotta watch those damn water grains too.
Yeah, I am learning a bit more each time out. I truly believe the car being so hot at the line hurt everywhere. I should have taken that in to consideration as well and didn't. Goal is to get at least 1 win with the car this season. Small consolation but the guy that took me out ended up winning so that helps.... lol
You’re doing great in my eyes buddy. Just getting the car done as fast as you did was awesome.

I only went golfing once, with some friends, to a 3-par. First time golfing, I shot a 72.
But it got dark after three holes, and I had to quit.
I figured it was a Camaro. lol or a Nova, is there ever anything else at the track. lol

Bill, I had a weird dream last night, I was driving my car around basically as it sits in my garage with no oil or radiator, it over heated and scuffed the pistons . I shut it off before it seized.
Lol wtf

I can relate, to being difficult to photograph. Tried to take a shot of two of mine, asleep, somehow they ALL woke up, charged me and barked. Had to go play ball.
I have three long hair black-and-red gsd's..... and one tuxedo cat. My kids.
Edit: and I love black (and gray, and torties) cats!

I'm not sure if your dog is smiling or is ready to bite someone's ***.
I’m going to pass on petting that one and stick to getting clawed to death by my kitty’s. Lol

I’m willing to bet that this is the most popular furry critter build thread on the racer forum! lol
