99% of the time I'm the slowest mph car in S/R....but...the car will go red and it seems to know where a .90 is. Granted on a really hot day I'm a little nervous that I may have to take it all out of the stop

....BTW the car has only ran a best of 9.42 and normally is in the 9.60 range....I finished 9th in div 3 with only 4 of 8 in...I'm hoping for better if I can get to the races this year....So yes...you can do it with a low power car too..

Just glancing back at this thread.. I would have to agree with Steltz.. we do get bounced around way too much.. and a lot of times called to the lanes when the dew is settling on the track..

I like the rotation because, like some guys said, I can sleep in everyday at a race.. LOL..

BUT.. I'm usually working with a Comp team, and bouncing S/G around sometimes causes problems with pit and starting line time management.. DIV 1 needs to stick to the rotation so the racers can better enjoy the race..
