After several minor issues this year, mostly driver related, I had a decent day yesterday.

Time trials went 6.439, 6.441, then a 6.46 (??) then 6.40 (??)

The 46 I think was traction related, but I have no idea where that 40, came from.

My reaction times are finally starting to be decent, .528 was best, so I'm getting it figured out, I think.

With that 6.40 out of the blue, I dialed 6.40 even though I was sure it wouldn't do that again.

I had a .563 light in the first round so that was a handicap. I was running a dragster and I went 6.418. I was sure I had him but I guess not. He had a .530 light and ran a little more off that I did.

Even with a close loss in the first round, I'm feeling alot better about being able to compete.

Hadn't really thought about it. Guess I should look at the schedule.
