Just for the avoidance of confusion later, you are taking the pi5s, right?
It was a close race.
I think we can agree the timing system let me down on this run.

Whats really annoying is the fact that this run was probably a new PB for me.
My PB was 10.94 at 128.6 with 101.6 at the 1/8th. This run shows 102.73 at the 1/8th and the difference between the 1/8th and 1/4 ETs being 3.823 looks correct also.
As my reaction was much worse than Simons (Bootlegger) in the other lane i have calculated my run could have been a 10.8

Any experts care to comment?

Phew, that's alright then :-)
Sorry to hear you picked up damage at the weekend. A delight to meet you in the first round of the Street Racer Championship. The idea was that I was only five red-lights away from a grand. It was a stupid idea, but four bonus runs for free and a shedload of fun to boot :-)
Hope you get the car back together soon.

Anything can happen in drag racing, its all fun whatever you race against.
I got a bye in the 3rd round then my car stalled just as i came into stage in round 4. I wouldnt have beat Russ anyway. A deserved win on the day.

I suspect i have a valve burnt out. Fingers crosse its not worse.

On reflection i reckon i was 4 tenths off Simons RT therfore my run would have been a 10.7 something
