Good launch and straight down the track run. Maybe lose a bit more weight off the front of the car and you might hit 10's.

Was that a "0.01" on the board before your time came up? (yes, I know what that really means, if that's what it was).

Okay, it was too fuzzy to see the difference between "0.81" and "0.01".

There isn't any connection between LED's and .500 or .000. NHRA is going to LED's and .000 perfect reaction designation for their national events, but there isn't anything written in stone that says you can't use .000 perfect reaction with incandescent bulbs in the tree.

I prefer to use windows media player. I don't like quicktime very well, I try to avoid it if at all possible.

The drag strip is a terrible place-just think of the time/money your gonna have now tuning to get 10's N/A And we all know that once your there, your gonna want 10.5 N/A, then 10.0, should I go on..? Oh,... we all know that situation-man I hate the track Your that close already, a good air day and possibly weight loss, your in the 10's baby.
