The one and only time I ever raced my mom's '85 Chrysler 5th Avenue... I figured that you could RUN faster than this thing (which turned out to be true, as I've run 2.96 on foot, and the 5th Ave ran 3.09!). First ever pass, dropped the sunvisor covering just the TOP bulb, shallow staged, and left off the flash of the 2nd bulb. I think it was an .028 on the first hit. LOL I remember I had an .011 first round of eliminations.

Had a few cars that I left on the 2nd bulb going out, or otherwise had to count. My current car, I've taken as many as 3 bumps after staging to find the tree at some places. Gone deep before, but was red-lighting, and used flip-up clip-on sunglasses to kill about .010 in R/T.
