OK NO LAUGHING
1st time to the strip since the seventies. I load wife and son into car off we go. 1st run I'm way behind everything. I'm running test and tune and can be up against anyone. So I manage to drive around the water. Do a short burnout. Have trouble gettting the prestage its further than I think. Guy next is already to go. I get to staged next thing I know that guy is gone and I'm looking at a green light hahahahaha. Off I go 1/2 good 2/3 miss the shift. Put in clutch move lever to 3rd let out clucth DUH any way I run a 14.707 1.3 reac and 2.225 60 see slips. btw TC is still on. But I'm not so nevous now.
2nd run next to a vet. I'm ready TC off lined up drive around the water. I prestage good and wait vet is I don't now back front up down does't seem to know how to stage. Guy buy the tree points at me. I stage. Watch the tree. I'm off the clutch at the last yellow. Spin thru 1st and most of 2nd great shift to 3rd. end up 14.709 .758 reac and 2.57 60 ft. Ok I got it now to much power off the line. I'm feeling good thou. 3rd run I'm actually in control this time. TC off mind in gear. stage ready watching the tree. Guy next to me red lights. Throws me off a tad I almost went (probably should have) I go .943 reac. I feel the tires spinning and let off the gas feather it thru 1st and 2nd (ithink) run good shift to 3rd run a 14.498 2.36 60 ft. I wan to go more but Wife wants to leave and we have a long wait. They ran junior dragsters and took a long time.
Anyway thats my story.Will upload slips in a minute.
