I went to the dragstrip on Friday evening to get some much needed practice with the starting tree in preparation for my June Pro Solo. Temps were in the mid to upper 50's, but humidity was a muggy 75%. I didn't bother let the car cool down, just took her to the line after the 1hr 30min drive down there. Best time was as follows:
R/T 0.670 (perfect light is 0.500)
60' 1.933
330 5.807
1/8 9.002 @ 76.89
1000 11.731
1/4 14.053 @ 95.00mph
All in all, the practice was very useful and I was cutting consistent 0.1xx reaction times. I also practiced launching with the handbrake, as most starting lines at Pro Solo's aren't flat.

P.S. My
