Round 5....got the bye run so didn't make a run as I was running out of ice!

Round 6 - Semi finals
this part sucks....pre staged....staged and pushed the trans brake button and it didn't hold...tried it again and the car rolled through the beams...red light :bash:

the button acted up a couple times during the day and wouldn't engage reverse until I hit it a few times. so I guess it time for a new button...preferably a REAL trans brake one.

Then someone says go run the bottle and cheer yourself up. lol. I only had about 20 minutes till the last race of the night was going to go so I put the warmer on and prepped the car. pressure only got up to a tick over 900. put it in the car and opened it and it went down to 850psi...haha. went fo rit anyways...

1.37
6.11 @ 112.44!!!

math wise thats a 9.59 in the 1/4......so to say I wasn't all smile after that is an understatement. cant wait to get back to a full 1/4 and run the car.

also, my best of 6.36 on blower only is roughly a 10.02-10.03 in my car from my previous slips.
