What a day.

Got to travel to Texas Raceway for the first time on Saturday.
Kinda mixed results, my Son had a tuff time in the left lane on reaction time.
He averaged .011 R/T in the Right lane & .050 in the Left.
The car has reliable & we got beat in the semi's of Footbrake Quick.
He had a .030 in the left lane, best of the day. He bumped in just a tad deeper & might of anticipated a little. Came up short to the other guys .023.
The round before he was .001 in the right.
Anybody else race at this track that might of seen this?

Mike, I'm sure I'm not telling you something that you don't already know if you bracket race as much as it appears. when he ran the left lane did he run faster E.T.'s than he did in the right lane?

I ask because it sounds like the left lane had more roll out in it which would have resulted in a little quicker E.T. because of that extra "run and go".

Yeah, one of my friends that I race with always checks the roll-out before cars go down the track. He made big wheel with a white stripe on it so you can measure the roll-out easily (kinda like the pick below). Its nice to know the roll-out in each lane so you don't have to guess "whats wrong with my car" if one lane you get a better RT.
