It'd be great if someone could tell me what I'm doing so that I could bottle it.

That's very good Michael, BUT.... can you go 1.28 sixty foot times at 3880 pounds on a 9" tire???? 1320Racer can.

no he can't!

Looks like Michael had a good weekend, much different than his Sunday 2 weeks ago at Numidia where they paid $5K to win in both Footbrake and Electronics where he was on road before 2nd round.

I hear NHRA Division 1 bracket racers are tough. My 16 year old son raced that day too, his first time in competition in my car and had to get by a current or former track champion every round as well Tom Fletcher before losing at 6 cars with a .-006 to the current Pro ET track champion at Numidia. No easy rounds in this neck of the woods.

Probably the topic for another thread,but where exactly can you race these days where the round wins come easy?

No, it was posted because this conversation (at least the most recent iteration of it) was started on Facebook with a claim that there was data that showed certain racers must be cheating. I posted empirical data from runs where there is demonstrably no cheating in order to show that it's not only possible but probable. I apologize if anyone took it as bragging, but I didn't think saying, "Nuh-UH!" constituted a supportive argument.

Nope. As mentioned earlier, I'm pretty worthless past the first 12" of the race track.

I'm not sure where this is germane to the topic at hand, but no, I did not have a good weekend. I made a lot of test n' tune and time trial laps. The car slowed .08 on my qualifying run, I dialed off of that, and proceeded to hog up the stripe horribly when the car picked back up. At Numidia, I was .023 and .019 in time shots, then .014 first round where I (you guessed it) hogged up the stripe horribly. I thought the tailwind had gone away. It did not.
