Lost in the finals with a big fat red light.
My car was running great and it was fun to have an all MOPAR final.
I just love running E-85. Runner-up paid $400 with the $41 entry.

9.37 on almost every run. You'd make a great bracket racer

Nice Jim- real nice. I assume you were running the flying toilet with E85 or were you back on carb?-- edit- never mind, I see on the other thread you were on injection.

I guess I did not understand the red light bit- do you mean you jumped on the tree at start?

Yeah Alcohol a red light is leaving early, Seems I do it far too often. Either that or I get lights in the .700 nap time range...

Alcohol,

Yes I am running the Ron's Flying Toilet mechanical injection with E-85. In bracket racing, leaving before the green light causes the red light to come on, and the racer looses automatically (a foul). Another type of foul is running faster than your Dial-in. That happened to the other guy in round 1, but I would have beat him anyway with my package (RT and ET). That is why sometimes I will brake near the finish line or pedal the throttle to avoid running faster than my dial-in when I am ahead of the other car. The times with an asterisk (*) are calculated from my 1000 ft time on the time slip since I was WOT past the 1000 ft mark.
