That adds up. The difference in trap time between 155 and 180 is just a hair over 4 hundredths.

I had a similar thing happen in St Louis a few years back in Super Comp. I was on the brakes hard and the ET slip showed what I figured I would have run wide open, and at 185. My car went 172 or something at that time.

I won the round anyway, as did Mark. Wonder what the officials would have done if it didn't work out that way in either case.

Well we had another great evening with friends yesterday at dinner (thanks Rich and Marianne) Cedar River was great as always and the story telling was awesome. Our dinner hosts were Rich and Marianne Pica (thanks). Rudy and Ruth Mathews, Ricky Hall, Dean Mathauser, Craig Porter, Johnny Cobb and Teresa and I. A good time was had by all. Yesterday Ricky and I did a little fishing, we didn't catch anything but we had a couple hits. Maybe today we'll try again.
