I have two time slips from my last outing at Greatlakes Dragaway.
The first race I had a reaction time of .151 and I set a new personal best beating a 7 plus litre GTO from the 70's my 12.2- to his 13.9


The second race and demised of the reman that lasted since 2005, caught my apponent in a 60's Camaro at the exact same reaction time .151
He carried an 11.6 to my 13.0 @90 coasting, smoking and shaking.
So, I have always pondered and questioned the relationship of numbers, anybody a numbers guy? :coolman: I think it was my number :beer:

The track was well prepped. There was no change in the weather. You were in the "Zone" and repeated the motions exactly.
I recently ran a 1.776 and a 1.780 60' 56 minutes apart.

In that case the relationship is there are only 10 numbers. Zero thru Nine.

I have run back to back EXACT timeslips before...ON A BIKE!!!!!! It was my first time at the track on a bike, the 3rd and 4th runs I made were EXACT...I put the bike on the trailer and watched the rest of the day. I had a ton of people ask me why I was not running anymore...I simply stated that I had achieved what drag racers dream of, perfect consecutive runs...there was no reason to do it again.

You were in the zone man! I can dig it!!!

Idk, my reaction times suck. I'm happy if I see a .0 anything. That's why I try to make my car as fast as possible. Lol. I musta missed the thread about your blowing your stuff up? What happened? Rod? Burned piston?
