Re: Cedar Falls Midway Shootout results

Well there is the explanation to why there was a 60ft glitch.

Watch the video in .25 speed and watch the pre stage and stage lights when the car on the left launches. Top shuts off and eminently the bottom shuts off.

Then watch your car and when you launch the top bulb (pre stage) shuts off and The Stage bulb does not turn off till your cars rear tire passes it witch would not start your time and would explain whey the slip will read .97 60ft time.

It can be from the squat of the car tripping the beam, something hanging down, or even all the smoke at the line but there is no question you can see how quick both bulbs shut off on the mustang and then how the stage light does not shut off till your rear tire passes the beam.

That's why there is a minimum height of 3inchs on the car so this does not happen.

Not hating just pointing it out cause its not a legit 8 second pass.
