If I could have had my best R/T of .037 of the night on that run, would I have been in the 13's????
I really was a bit upset that I could only manage 2 runs out of 5 that I could actually hook up.
I could only leave right off of idle on my best two runs. The other three runs were when I tried to stall it up a bit to around 1100 rpm's. They ended up in total tire obliteration.
My first run of the night was up against blue02. He won that because I.......well red lighted big time. I felt like an *** as well. blue02 made sure I felt like one too
. I left on the first light that blinked at me after staging. It wasn't the green one either 
!
I do have a sort of a explanation though. I THOUGHT IT WAS INSTANT GREEN NIGHT!!! Yeah yeah yeah.......the first light wasn't even green.
Just kind of remembered how hard it was to go off of a light coming at you without warning so I just went for it when I seen the tree light up!
Oh well. I didn't make that mistake twice is all that counts.
I didn't get to talk to many of you guys like I thought I would have.
Just was a little upset that I couldn't get close to my 14.32x run that I did last spring.
Then when I did get a 14.35x, I was just focused on getting a 13 sec run.
The long waits in line only made me get impatient and frustrated as well.
Glad to see all of you guys finally. I still can only match most of your faces to your screen names. Bad with names. Sorry.
We need to set another date after February.
After reading all of this you might have forgot my question in the beginning.
So do you think I could have run a high 13 something???
