Changed username from Ski2Tee to
RainDelay.
(I know, not tech/perf, but this is where I post and it shouldn't take up much space)
Why? When I chose Ski2Tee I lived in an apt 30yds from a ski lift and 90 yds from the #9 tee box/18th green. I used to ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon on my days off. I am far removed from that now.
The new name (RainDelay) is what we call golfers who stand over the ball too long before taking their shot, ala Sergio Garcia. Well I've decided to cross over that term to my drag racing performance. In about 18 trips down the 1/4 mile my non-redlight avg RT is a .707. As if there is some sort of raindelay between the last yellow and green.

Not including my first run ever which was 1.something, my worst is a .787. The avg is from my most recent day with 10+runs (can only read 7 slips though) and includes a .526...accident is probably the best word. Without that in the avg, it is a staggering .736 :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :seeya :steering:

Hey, Steve!! I'm sorry to break your happiness with only being that slow. I had one .3xx RT and did not red light. What kind of tree were they running?
We were all concentrating on our cars and launch technique and not practicing the lights anyway.
Yes I'm a dead certain light sleeper, just ask Jvette73.

For test and tune nights, they usually run the tree where a .001 would be a perfect without a red light. The pro tree has a .500 for perfect.
