UPDATE: "video of my" 1st time bracket racing

[Timmy]

we were at Norwalk in Ohio yesterday. I went with the autolite crew and it was a lot of fun. My dial in runs were awesome. I went 14.679 @ 94 on the first run then i went 14.67 @94 in the second. the third run i let my girlfriend ride along with the video camera and i went 14.74 @ 93. I'll try to get the video on here soon. I dialed in at 14.70 with the intentions of hittin the brakes at the end but that didn't work so well. i ended up running 14.59 @ 90.2. It was fun though. I was really consistant on my dial ins, and i had a huge crowd of people just staring at my car wondering what i did. nobody could believe it was a 3800. I shut a lot of people up with the timeslips though.

Bracket racing is Awesome [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
I am so hooked on it now. How far did you get, semifinals? any awards for winners or runner-ups?
I am thinking of entering the Mod ET divisoon this Saturday. Winner gets $600 and runner up gets $100. 3rd and 4th get $50.
Way to go. nice times.

unfortunately, i broke out in the first round. against a 17.70 second v-10 truck. i guess the anticipation of catching him made me drive really good, because i went 2.1 60' and from what i can tell, i woulda ran a 14.50 if i wouldn't have let off the gas. so my time slowed to a 14.59 and i lost about 5 mph and still broke out by more than the truck did. i guess i shoulda dialed in faster than what i did because the temp there dropped to about 50 and like 40% humidity. oh well, i do better next time.

I'm posting Timmy's race compalation. The looks on some peoples faces when he opens the hood and they see it's a 3800... priceless.

He keeps up with me pretty good, I'm gonna start worrying when he gets the N2O done. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Nice video. It looks like you were sleeping at the line on that second run with the camera in the car.
Nice Job on the times though.
