at my last track outing i ripped the tint off the bulb with a perfect .500 light....

just thought id brag about that a little

 

I had one back in July but it was only during a test and tune pass. Before that I haven't had a perfect light since around 1999. I've had lots of .50x lights and a few .49x lights.

 

ya, those .500 lights are statistically damn near impossible to get.....but consistant .5x lights are great, im usually in the .510 to .610 area

 

i had a .496 last time at the track. it pisses me off to think of how close i came to a perfect light. my closest non red light was a .543 i think

 

thats pretty good man

 

Congrats. In 25 years (I haven't raced each of those years), I've never had a perfect RT timeslip. But, 3 of those years, the track didn't give RT on the timeslip, either.

This past Saturday, they hadn't even been going 5 minutes in time trials before somebody cut a perfect light (electronics class). That same day, a buddy I pit with had a .000 in TT, and .000 in 3rd round of eliminations. He bulbed the next round (he was really ticked about that, because he doesn't like the guy he was racing, it was almost a head's up race, and the other guy had a .1-something light).

Earlier this year, I had a .002 one round of eliminations, .001 the next. As I headed back down the return road looking at that last timeslip, they announced a racer two runs behind me had just cut a perfect light.

 

My best light is a .501 and then I have too many .5xx to even count.

On the pro tree my best is a .526 but thats with a .400 being perfect so we have room to improve.

Oh yeah this is only my 2nd year of racing, and the .501 came last year as I have rarely done full tree this season!

 

i use the fall asleep technique, .6xx's oh yeah

 

There were two perfect lights last Sunday at our local track. One was a kid driving a junior dragster. 1st round I had a 5.27 2nd was a 2.48, guess I staged a little deep Best I've had this season was a 5.02. Still having trouble with the RED bulb, trying to hold it too high I guess. CONGRADULATIONS on your light!!
