Re: Its only took about a year....

Well thats cool. Its a lot different watching the tree come down at different times. And its really hard to watch the other guy leave and you still having to set there. I dont get to do taht much, but it does happen.

Its equally as hard though going almost to the finish line before you ever can see the other car. This happens to me a lot. Because when you're dialed in 6.80 or so, and you're racing a guy dialed 4.80, then you're not going to see him untill right at the finish line, and then he literally blows by you.

You just have to get into a routine in order to cut a good light though. I mean once you get the car to where you want it, that would be a lot easier. But since you're still trying to get faster, then I can see where it would make getting into a routine harder. Its almost impossible to cut a good light when you're worrying about what your car is going to do. Believe me! I know. Two weeks ago was the first time since I've had the car that I actually felt like I could win a round, lol.
