I am taking a free drag class at Gateway Raceway in St.Louis. Tonight was the second time I have been to the drag strip. We were practicing staging, reaction and 60' times.
The first couple of runs I had 60' times in the 2.45 range. I had a best of 2.03 the fist time to the drag strip so I was very disapointed. The second run I had a .006 reaction time. The workers and instructor were all giving me thumbs up as I drove back on the other side of the track. I new that I had a 2.41 times and couldn't appreciate my reaction time. I thought since my 60' times were so bad I would consentrate on that third yellow light and try to have good reaction times. My next run was a red light by.185 wjth a 2.3 60'. I was happy with this and thought I'll try and do every thing the same. :biggrin:Red light by .084 and 60' in 2.05.WHOOHOO:woohoo::woohoo::bananapartyhat::rock::bacon:
So happy with that 60' time I was determinned to be carefull of the thired light. and not jump the gun. Still excited I reved to 2500 rpms. The tree starts YELLOW, YELLOW, YELLOW, RED LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I jumped the gun buy .06 seconds and Had by far the fastest 60' time of any street driiven car there at 1.96 sec. :biggrin: "Ironic"
