Well I qualified in the ASCC number 1 with 11.51 ET and won our ASCC runoff.

Qualifying for EFI was tougher.
Trying to hit 11.50
1st qual 11.61
2nd qual 11.495 (does not count cause I went under)
3rd qual 11.509 (pretty close huh?) (I missed the 3 calls to the lanes and almost missed the qualifying run but snuck in just as the last car was leaving the starting line)

I think I have the number one seed but not confirmed yet.

Now if I can only cut a light (pro tree)

JP, I was literally all over the place with this trying to find the sweet spot. Obviously my first goal was to qualify well. Once happy with qual spot, I can play with the the tree. As you see, my best qual ET came in the third qual of EFI so no playing here.
ASC running allowed me time to play. Once deep, I went red, once guessing I went .08, once guesing went LBTA.

I am thinking my problem with not being able to cut a good tree is 17" wheels. Are you still on 15's?

I will write DEEP on the car tomorrow as I will need the light more than the ET and keep my fingers crossed
