Semi-Finals for the 6th time in 10 races..

..at my local track. I did take a weekend off a couple weeks ago to go to a different track.

Anyways, I made it down to 3 cars yesturday only to redlight a sure win away (the other car redlighted too, but I redlighted first). According to the ticket, he actually should have redlighted first, but thats not the way it appeard on the track, lol. He had no reaction time (.000) to my .482. I was dialed 4.77 and he was dialed 3.79. He had to spot me .98 seconds, or about 2 lights. Anyways, in order for him to have got no reaction time, he had to leave before his side of the tree started, and if thats what he done, then he would have had to have left before I did. Oh well. We were all friends so I never contested it.

Here's my runs (.500 is perfect light here BTW):

1st time run (right lane-it)
-RT: .513
-60': 1.682
-330ET: 4.875

2nd time run (left lane)
-RT: .509
-60': 1.650
-330ET: 4.831

3rd time run (right lane)
-RT: .504
-60': 1.638
-330ET: 4.809

1st round eliminations (right lane)
-Dial: 4.79
-RT: .532
-60': 1.645
-330ET: 4.809

2nd round eliminations (right lane)
-Dial: 4.79
-RT: .503
-60': 1.623
-330ET: 4.777 (breakout-other car broke out the same amount, but I had a better reaction time)

3rd round eliminations (left lane)
-Dial: 4.76
-RT: .510
-60': 1.626
-330ET: 4.784 (shut down before the finish line)

4th round eliminations (right lane-semi final round)
-Dial: 4.77
-RT: .482 (foul)
-60': 1.637
-330ET: 4.790

I won $100 for that last run, lol. That's $450 in the past 2 weeks and about $3500 for the season.
