Anyhow great job Byron!

Byron 3 perfect lights had to be a tree malfunction.LOL

Funny ain't it -- same thing happened to me - killed more than 8 mph and still ran out - round 3 .Thought I was dialed very hard ........

Jack if you drop the nose on your Firebird, the front section can and will trip the lights and your going to get a faster ET........The distance from the wheel to where the front nose might hit the beams....

Happened to me at least once in my Friebird.....

Yes , I'm aware that can happen - but more than 8mph killed - the nose is out front but not that far ........And since I've had this car since 1996 it would have happened many times before this .

[Rich Biebel]

Yes I agree that doesn't make sense......You are right there....

I did not realize that was the car you had in 1996.......

Watching you go 11.2's and faster as an H/SA was one of the reasons I sold the car I had back then..... A '69 Nova that I bought form Lloyd Mackay.....I figured the old cars were done....

ET & MPH do not tell the entire tale. Post all of the incrementals from the quick run, and a couple other complete representative all-out runs.

Typically, I find that 2 mph is about .01, so you probably got rid of .04. Didn't I read somewhere that there had been a weather shift and a tailwind had come up? It's very easy for a car to move that much in the 1/4-mile. Now, if all of your incrementals are adding up the same, and then it shows a pick up of .05 just in the last 320', then you may have something. Study the incrementals, split times, and speeds.

Also, if you have an uncharacteristically late reaction time, and all of your incrementals come up way fast, it's often a symptom of a stage beam hanging.
