1st time QTR times Stage zero
Ok, here they are. I was car 1090.
Well, I intended to put all three slips in, but the file was too large that way. This was my best out of three. It was very hot and gusty. The car that won was a built small block v-8 S-10 truck. Open headers, slicks etc. My reaction time sucked but the launch was much better than the other 2 runs. BTW I had a better mph on the last run at 98 but e.t. was only 14.79 due to massive spin induced by an oiled down track from the car immediately before me.
All in all, conditions what they were and having only 3 runs, I'm happy with the 14.10 cause I know for sure I'll get a 13 out of it with better air and a few more tries.
BTW. Chi Chi is what my kids call the car.

RE: 1st time QTR times Stage zero
Nice run first time out, PC. Nail that 60 down, and work on that 1-2 and 2-3 shift. With the weather like you describe, a little slip between 2nd and third could have dropped your results but the car is looking strong. A 14.1 after a start like that is very nice.
I see you are s0, but you aren't quite stock, right? the best I could possibly muster completely stock was mid-high 13's and you have that easily nailed with a little more traction to get your early speed up like 3-5 mph. With a trap around 103-4 like you'll get in better weather you ought to hit a 13.6, I bet.
