Did we land on the Moon?

This is a very interesting article especially in regards to the timing system at Norwalk for the make up race. My car normally runs 121-123 and it has been low 124 only on 1 occasion. First round in the right lane my car goes 126+ and I lifted about 10' before the MPH lights. My car wouldn't run that with a tailwind going downhill. All of the other incrementals were off a tick but not enough to justify 3-4 mph off the loud pedal. I subsequently broke out by .009 which was extremely odd because I was dialed honest and lifted way early. I talked to a couple racers in Columbus 2 weeks later and they thought the front fascia may have have tripped the beams. That's plausible but the lowest point forward of the front wheels is around 10". Norwalk is my home track and they run the best show in the business. Maybe Sheldon was correct about the popcorn popper....
