I won yesterday!!!!
I won my first race at Lebanon Valley Dragway yesterday.....I ran in the trophy class so I didn't win any money but I got a nice trophy and my picture in the winners circle. I thought it was awsome, I made it to the semi's a couple of weeks ago and redlighted so yesterday I made up for it....

My best ET was 11.91 @ 116 but that was in time trials, My other time trail was a 12.03 @ 116. I always dial in higher to give myself some room at the finish line incase my 60ft is bad...The first couple of races I dialed a 12.10 but in the third round i had a terrible start and barely got around the car I was running, I won by .002....That was too close for me so i upped my dial to 12.15. You know what is funny is I can't think of all the cars I raced. I went 8 rounds to win...I know I beat a Camaro SS, Chevelle, Ford Rambler, AMC Spirit, SRT 8 Jeep, WS6 TransAm....I can't think what else....There is a video of the final round on www.dragway.com, click on OT Final....You will notice I was only doing 100MPH when I crossed the line because once I got around the SRT8 I lifted, you can hear it. I would post the video if I knew how...Maybe someone else can post it for me....
