I don't have my timeslips handy, but for three rounds of competition, I dialed 13.40 and ran 13.45(on the brakes), 13.42 and 13.42.

My third round loss was due to a .039 redlight.

I know...you were thinking about our first timeshot and how asleep at the line you were against me.

Alan,

Still having tranny issues ...being that he wasn't there, I'll take my "moral" victory over Dave and move on.
