US 131 Pro Am

Had the pre stage lite "blink" on 2 seperate runs was no where near the beam. E.T. clocks seemed right but I doubt I went 167 MPH. Very tight both lanes. Joe

TSI equipment does blow. Lets see out of the trailer in Q/R I was .003 And ran 8.9003 tree was a little long. S/R I was .006 and ran 9.92 something. Second time run I was .00 and .91's in both. First round the tree came down before I was up to 2500 rpmLets just say you cant win with a .140 light. I did go 3 rounds In S/R With the 60 Foots going from 1.540 to 1.599. Day two first round had .020 in Q/R and .013 in S/R second round had a .120 light in Q/R them I went .028 Red in S/R. My question is why not fix it if they knew it was bad. Byron will be better Ron & BJ will make sure of that.

tree got me too, right when i put the second stage bulb the tree went .160 is not gonna win anything.It was either super fast or real slow ,no common ground.

I thought about going to martin to run top dragster...I went to a local track and had a few guys that were there come run the local bracket program monday...Not a one had anything good to say about the lights or the tree...Timing was definetly an issue for a lot of guys one clocked a 212 MPH quick rod run
