Default Poll----time slip choice

Stupid poll but what the heck. Below is the results of two time trials in the 1/4mi. One has slightly better et, and the other slightly better mph. They're both very close. If it was you and your car that got these slips, which one would you use to claim as your best run?

No win this time Gregg. I redlighted in the 1st round. Buy I was very consistant over 5 runs with two 13.40's, 13.38, 13.36, and a 13.49 on a mis-shift. I accedentally went from 1st to 3rd on that one and just let the trans finish up on its own, so it went into 3rd too early.

Are you guys nuts? .02sec is nothing, but .5 mph is a fair bit...

If anybody 'asks' what it runs, you can 'honestly' tell 'em "It's gone 13-thirties @ 104 MPH", because it HAS!!!
