This weekend at the Mason Dixon Dragway, I participated in the Mid-Maryland All-Ford event. I entered in with the MN12 guys in the Cougar/Comet class which included Thunderbirds, Supercoupes, Cougars, Marauders, Lincolns, oh and Comets. LOL
Short version...
First time trial I ran a 13.789 @ 98.38. My reaction time was 0.068.
Second time trial... 13.907 @ 98.06 with an RT of 0.023. ???
In the 1st round eliminations I dialed a 13.82 and ran a 13.844 @ 98.53. With a 0.078 RT, I'll take that!
I left the dial the same (13.82) for the 2nd round, and when I picked up the slip I had run a 13.820 @ 99.09 with a 0.041 RT!!
That run was against a solid racer in a 12 second Marauder who had dialed a 12.3 and ran a 12.351 with a 0.085 reaction time.
All good things must end though. Like they say, if you don't red light once in a while, you're not trying hard enough. Well, the next round was the semi-finals, and against another Marauder who consistenly runs in the 11's.
It was a double red-light start and I found myself on the short end as I had an RT of -0.123 against his red light of -0.117. I also succeded to breakout of my 13.82 dial with a 13.799 ET.
