Going fast sucks. With as much as it cost to do this today I want as much track time as possible. Why only take 10 seconds when you can have 15. Although the sponsor prospects may not see it this way they can have 50% MORE EXPOSURE FOR 50% LESS ADVERTISING DOLLAR WITH A SLOW CAR. As the low class Mr. Nees put it you will pay attention to detail at the track. The only race car that I've owned that paid for itself was the V car. You have to race it all the time to learn how to dial it and you have to keep books of records. Your average TAG or other bracket style weather station is useless with these cars, but there are things that work. My experience was the same as Ron's though as when the car was running.3 under the index it was deadly consistent 85% of the time and when it was .8 to1 under it was not nearly as consistent. Your worst enemy during eliminations is that guy on the starting line with that sprayer of VHT. The glue will kill your ET all the way down the track if he decides to do you a favor and spray the starting line for you. Life is good on the bottom of the pond.
