Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results

Here's the info from my races.

1st time ever doing a 1/4 mile drag:
R/T: .471
60 ft: 2.153
1/4: 14.019
MPH: 97.69

2nd time:
R/T: .411
60 ft: 2.004
1/4: 13.759
MPH: 101.84

3rd time (missed 2nd gear pretty bad):
R/T: .313
60 ft: 2.099
1/4: 14.173
MPH: 98.55

Overall it was a good experience, I had to learn everything that morning about how to approach the lights and when to go, I was really nervous every time. The last run was elimination and I didn't realize one side went first (I was racing a stock-ish truck), so he went a full 3 seconds before me which really threw me off too.

I think if I learn how to launch before my next visit I should be able to get 1/2 second quicker overall. I'm happy I got over 100mph though.
