Re: Florida Corvette Challenge points updated (REDGAR)
I went from 7th to 9th in points :banghead: :cuss . I don't get my car, in time trials it runs within 1-2 hundreths, in eliminations it decides to run 3-4 tenths off. I stayed for the night races and my time trials were 13.25, 13.23 and 13.21. 1st round it ran a 13.41 on a 13.21 dial in. I lucked out and my opponent had a red light. So 2nd round I dial up to 13.31 thinkning the better air will keep my car around that, it decides to run a 13.47, of course I lost, even with a .518 light and my opponent was slow off the line and was off his dial in also. :confused: . I hit my shift points all night and my 60" times were about the same.
I thing my car hates eliminations and only likes practice. :nonod:

What I do to help this is after my first time trial, in my head I pick a dial. That is the number I am shooting for. So I am always trying to execute against a dial number. I get my gitters out during tiime trials.
