Thanks! Wish I could've ran again or had a do over on that one. Lol! For some reason my stability control light wasn't coming on as I was lining up to run. I tried everything, even turning off the car for a second. I tried going into PTM and it still wouldn't come on, nor go into PTM. I was thinking it would shut me down once it started spinning and getting sideways, but surprisingly it didn't. The problem was, I accidentally deep staged. Thought about throwing it in reverse real quick, but I knew the lights were about to come on, so I didn't. I didn't think it would make that big of a difference, but I really think it may have knocked me out of a possible 10.
The car felt like it hooked the best it did all day (only 3 passes, but) and my first pass had a 1.72 60', and that last pass felt better than that, so I guess it was the deep stage that killed my 60' and therefore hurt the rest of my run. If the car actually did launch better and would've cut another low 1.7, I'd been looking at a high 10 and probably 128 or 129 mph. Lesson learned. I should've just chanced the lights coming on and backed up and launched it. I tried to hotlap it to get another shot at it, but they said I only got one pass that round and that I was done for the night.
