Yeah it was fun seeing old red get out there and hammer down - then seeing the brakes come on and still get a good trap. :)

Dang man that sucks. I like bracket racing, but it's tricky. Not only do you have to have a consistent car, but your reaction time factors in as well. I lost the semi final round at IFO Alabama last year due to my reaction time. I was closer to my dial in, but my component's reaction time was better. UGH! lol

Just looked at my slips again. I also went 14.6 @ 95.09 :(

That was a motor pass in the left lane. I'm not sure what happened b/c looking at the slip it seems like I lost momentum somewhere 2nd --> 3rd gear shift (which felt good @ the time.. I thought I hit the spot perfectly). Oh well.

Werd. My previous best was a 1.79 (back in 2006 LOL) and I cut a 1.76 and a 1.77 60' yesterday.

It was me you raced against. It was a good race, I saw you slow down at the end and according to the timeslip I drove around you, but it was a very close race haha, surprisingly it's not the closest race I've ever had though...

Yea I saw the round before that you had run a 13.05 on a 13.00 dial in. I knew it would be close but o well. Second places paid the entry fee and gas. A day of racing for free is always fun.

Yup, can't go wrong with free racing... unless you own a new Camaro and break it trying to do a burnout...

YES!!! After searching through about 200 photos, I finally just found one where someone was nice enough to take a picture of the sentra. Though the angle of the picture is wrong, you can clearly see the sentra 10 degrees to the right. Im happy as a clam now.
