Default New best 60' time 1.122

Two weekends. Two trophies. I won a local heads up race last weekend and finished second in the True Street (Ultra Street) class yesterday at Shady Side Dragway in Shelby NC. I also got a new best 60' time of 1.122 there. The track prep was excellent!

Thank you. There are several videos of the second race on facebook. Go to Shadyside Dragway and scroll down to the video from October 21 at 5:36pm. Go to the 10:08 minute mark and you will see my car make a pass.

Yea. My reactions really helped since I qualified 7 in a tough field of 12. Reactions in eliminations were .010, .004, and .013. All 60' times were 1.13 except for one that was 1.12.
