Ran 10.5 index Saturday...made it to 6 cars....

........Which sounds cool, until I tell you there was only 12 in the field, LOL.

It was a good time, first time doing the "instant green" tree. That thing was really strange...no amber lights, just stage it and the green light turns on. I was running 10.4's, which was perfect because it gave me room to play.

First round was an easy win, because I just raced the guy in the previous practice round, and he ran 10.63 all out in practice. I started slowing down after 1000' and took a very comfortable half a car at the stripe.

Rd 2, I KNEW I would break out if I made a full pass...I mentally prepared to drop ANYONE that ran right next to me....so what do I do....I run my opponent all the way down the 1/4, only and inch or two in front or behind the whole way and in my INFINITE wisdom I decided to leave my foot on the floor....stupid stupid stupid. I lost on a double breakout (my 10.44 to his 10.45). I could have easily won that race if I stuck to the plan and dropped him at the stripe...I just forgot about the plan for a few seconds...literally. I realized it as soon as his win light came on

Oh well, still had fun.
LMAO! And I just repaired a bunch of damage to front end after promising to not panic and lift when nose came up! Yep lifted and front dropped like a rock. Funny how we have all this stuff sorted out in our head and the tree goes green and instant vortex between my ears! Practice practice practice! Have a great summer!
