I was pretty pleased with how things went. I ran a 14.9 on my first run, and dropped it down to 14.7 for the next two, including a 14.767@96.64, my best trap speed of the night.
After about 10 runs in a row, I could feel my clutch having trouble grabbing during the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts and I couldn't do any better than 14.9-15.0 even though my launches were better, so I let the car cool for a while.
I went back and laid down a nightly-best of 14.6@94.46 that I was pretty excited about. My other favorite race was when I was up against a 99-04 Mustang GT with drag radials. My better reaction time let me beat a car that was actually .2 seconds faster than I.
My best reaction time of the night was a .174 (where .000 is perfect) and my best 60' time was a 2.206. Pictured are the slips from my best 1/4 time (right), trap speed (left), and win (center) - I'm car 577.
I meant to take some video, but I realized when I arrived that my camera's battery was dead. Oops.
