Thumbs up My bracket weekend

went 4 of 5 rounds today. explanations of each race are in the discriptions. if you would like to know, on the race against the new gt, why i only trapped 87mph but still got the win i will tell. my dial in times for all rounds was a 14.10...just couldnt break 13s again

btw.....commentary is quite hilarious.

round 1-me vs a cobra with a 12.70 dial in
round 2-me vs a new stang gt with the same dial in(heads up race)
rounds 3-me vs a 5.7L hemi magnum with a dial in of 14.42
round 4-me vs cuda with a dial in of 9.83 i broke out.

round1 r/t-.067
round2 r/t-.152
round3 r/t-.124
round4 r/t- -.015

best r/t's of the day were .012, .013, .029, .026 (.000 is perfect with this tree)

Sounds like a fun bracket racing weekend, but what and the hell is with the Mustang only dialing in at 14.10, he must not shift hard or not know how to shift. Either way, great racing.

Well that's nice, LOL. I had a pretty shitty night of racing tonight, but ohwell, first time with the SS/TC and only had like 45 minutes to try and get dialed in, but that didnt work.

I think you are heat soaking. You raced at the same track and it's still the same time of year. Get some cooling mods and get your 103 trap speed back.
