Default Went to the track yesterday

We went for some TNT yesterday at Temple. They scraped the track for the first 70' to try and make the track level and even. I was only able to come out of the hole off the foot brake. I tried off the transbrake and just blew the tires off past the 1/8 mile.

Anyhoo, here's a quick vid of a pass. Every car out there was anywhere from 1/2 to a full second slower than their usual times because of no traction. My best 60' out of 7 passes was a 1.83 when I usually am in the 1.4x-1.5x range.

It's a 1/4 mile track, but they were running 1/8 mile yesterday.
