I was there. I ran early against Bama in the silver SS, and much later on against a very highly tuned Cobra. Bama won in the first 100 feet.
[excuse] I recently put on my new SO-3's, and I'm still trying to get the hang of SMG launching again with fresh tires. When I had the old tires on there I couldn't punch the pedal hard off the line or I'd just sit there and smoke. The new ones hook so well I have to learn to add more throttle, otherwise the car just goes, "Huh? Oh, you want me to go? Should've said something..."
That plus I was still deaf and disoriented after Zac flew by me earlier in the evening.[/excuse]
That Cobra I ran pulled away from me like it was being towed by a Team Strange top fuel car.... :o I mean it just kept going. I like watching how other cars compare to mine in a run because I can spot where I need to improve the power curve, or work on my technique. This car had no flat spots in the curve, it just kept accelerating.
I almost got out of my car because I thought it had stalled.
The weird part was DJ ran a different Cobra - same year - and I played chase car behind it. I was glued to his bumper the whole time and he couldn't pull on me, even though I left the line a second later than them.
