Thanks guys

I'm actually more happy with running dead on the dial-in than the reaction times, but still pretty happy with those. Luckily I had a long time racer dialing my car in for me, and he hit it right on the nose most of the night. We were playing down to thousandths of a second. One run, he said I'd be on a high 8.02 (like a 8.027 or so), but in these races you win and lose them by thousandths so we didnt want to take a .007 package right off the bat, he gave me a 5 lb weight to put in the car to bring it up to an 8.03, I think that run I ran 8.032. It's an unbelievable level of competition. I'm happier than a pig in poo that I made it down to less than 16 cars in two races with well over 200 entrants.

Oh, and Jims69Camaro, yes, every run is logged, I know how many runs are on the springs, lifters, oil, engine, trans, tires, etc. The book was free from Jeg's with some order I made, Summit has one too. I think I have a few layin around if you want me to send you one.
