My time runs and the All Star race all made sense at the National event (.004, .009, .015, .002, .009, .015)... The light was pretty much exactly what I wanted within a couple thousandths.

1st round of the National Event I had some wierd fluky deal where I was -.002 red, set up to be teen and all my incrementals were .025+ slow. On the data recorder the G-Meter was within 0.03 G's, the driveshaft was exactly the same and the engine RPM/stop RPM was exactly the same. If I was going to lose all that ET, I'd be able to see it on the data. Basically the timing system just thought I left before I did, from what I can tell.

Carl.. I went back and slow mo'd the final from the Allstars race to see what I could find. There were 6 frames on my DVR from the time my car started to move until the time your car started to move. If each frame is a hundredth (which I have no idea of the exact measurement) then that would make sense.

You know, this drag racing thing's hard enough without tree/timing system issues. We have a hard enough time deciphering the data we can see, nevermind the intangibles like that. Glad you brought it up Craig...
