First points race of the season Dragway of Magnolia in Ohio and I won the No Box class. Good start to the season.

Nice job...especially the R/T in the finals!!!!
Thanks. The last two rounds were against some hitters so I knew I had to smack the tree. The track has a runoff between the box and no box winner for an extra $500. I had to race a dragster that was throttle stopping. I pushed the tree a little too hard and had a .491 to his .504. I won the last race of the year last year and beat the box car and the first race this year. I guess I'm on a winning streak.
 
It looks like he goes faster with a slower 60ft. Little wheel spin gets the rpm up faster or changing launch rpm.
2 - 8.28's & 1 - 8.26 it seems like a big jump to go to 8.23......

Either way its awesome to get that first win of the year, congrats

Thanks for posting the rnds.
In round 4 you dialed an 8.23. Did the weather change? What made you dial so safe?
Getting later into the night. Air was more than likely cooling off
F8L is pretty much dead on. It was cooling down and it went from sunny to cloudy which usually means a big pickup for the car so I dialed accordingly. It didn't pick up as much as I expected which shows in the later dials. The red light came at a good time.

On another note. Last Sunday was points day number 2. I lost in the 6th round at 3 cars. Still got the points lead.

Great job. Was this bracket racing? Try index racing, door to door racing is a blast

Yeah it was bracket racing. There isn't much index racing around here. There is a group that goes track to track but their slowest index is 7.00 (1/8th mile). I'm not even close to that.
