The starting Line at the div 3 was really marginal

Don Kennedy · 05-22-2022, 08:05 PM

SO I made three runs and never hooked up .? I thought it was my car but after looking At nhra.tv very few cars were leaving right? Of course sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees am I wrong?.

I was watching all the divisional races this weekend. The crew at Indy looked like they were trying to do the best they could.

I picked my spots and didn’t have any issues.

My best 60’ was only a 1.22 and it normally goes 1.15! Every time I tried to turn it up I spun

My car varied .003 in 60 ft through the first 5 runs including test and tune.Then picked up about .01 in Round 1.
I thought Brad was doing a great job on the starting line and I thought the track was great.And both lanes were equal for me.
I guess it depends what kind of car you race.Can't say enough about how well Hoosier tires work on my car also.

So you made three runs and spun the tires on every run AND qualified in the top 4?

And almost the number 1 qualifier and never hooked up???

I suspect Super Stockers spun more after watching the higher class cars

My 60 ft times were off,but consistent.I had a correction factor of 1.085 on Friday.The air was pretty bad.If it wasn't for the wind,I would have been really slow.
