If you don't red light you can win

[dvw]

After beating myself with -.002, -.005, and -.027 this year, not to mention a broken trans I finally got it going yesterday. 6 rounds at Milan on the foot brake vs. the trans brake guys. R/T, .009, .012, .052 (scared i was too close), .008, opponent red light, .029 in the final. Round 2 took a .007 stripe as my opponent had a .000 R/T. Best pass 9.16@147. Oh ya 10.5" tires as well.

Nice job! I had two reds in practice, then a .127 IIRC, then in eliminations, .030 then blew a shift and lost.

Way to go, red lites can be a real PITA! Especially when we are hitting .00X lights.
just a little deep and its all over. What was the DA at Milan?
9.16 @147 is gettin' it done. great job.

We need to do a heads up race with the hemi. We are so close in ET & MPH. IT WOULD BE FUN.
MY 60 FOOTS ARE JUST DIFFERENT!

Raised them 1 hole. I'm trying to make sure it'll hit the tire hard enough under any track conditions with index races coming up. Then tighten the rebound on the shocks to keep it under control. So far, so good. I'll run it a few times and see. I have plenty of data from the bars in the normal level position. Depends on weather if it'll be A/FX or B/FX.
