Made it 3 rounds with my local group Kenosha Area Drag Racers had a blast next one is in September.
 
I been watching.... I can tell you are having fun :)
 
show us your time slips!!!!!

Don't be shy.

My first time I was consistent at a tad over 18 seconds and 78 MPH. I too made it to round 3, got beat by a guy I know. It was fun as hell. Best part was they let me race with the top down!

It was hot and the Density Altitude was 3,200-3,300 ft, I had no time to play with timing or jetting it was what it was. 12.60 dial-in.

Thanks! Been years since I been there. Glad to hear they're sinking money into it. Would like to take the Duster up there sometime. Rt66 been closed since Covid-19 hit in 20. Doesn't appear to be reopening.
 
Can't read them.

how about 2 at a time in portrait mode.
 
When are you leaving? Stage shallow and first hint that the bottom bulb is coming on, leave. Do it in qualifying. You might go red. If you do and it’s real close, but consistent. You can wait for the bulb to be bright or drop the front tire pressure a lb or 2. If your reaction times are still a bit slow. Stage as before, but go an extra “bump” in. Also try and be very consistent on how far you roll in as you stage. Once you see some consistency, you can move that spot around to suit your needs. I don’t bracket race, I’m heads up, pro tree so deep is not for me. I go shallow and first hint I’m off. Years ago I could change which bulb I focused on if I went red in qualifying, but with the LEDS and new starting systems. The ambers are truly coming on at the same time now. Not so much in the past.
