That's right, Mitch and I drew each other in the 2nd round today.
Let me set the tone:
Englishtown, NJ
Temp: about 100*
Humidty: high enough to sufficate you
UV index: My Pop Tarts cooked on the pass seat :eek:
Our buddy with the dragster went out first round due to a break out, so we lost the trailer to hide in before first round, and only 27 cars showed up in our class.
After weeks of severe traction issues, I finally get the Delta (Onyx) to hook up. The car gained 170 lbs from the last race day. I ran with a full tank of gas and my spare and jack.
My car was off by about .4 to .5 and Mitch's car was about the same. I cut a .019 light against this total douche in an 07 Mustang. He kept revving his motor all the way from the staging lane to the starting line. I won that by a double breakout. I ran a 15.979 on a 16.04 dial and he ran a 14.535 on a 14.98 dial. Mitch took it easy on the tree against his day racer and cut a .078 light and smoked him easy.
2nd round comes up and Mitch grabbed the ladder like he always does. I asked him who I had and he said "me". So we flip for lane choice and I win the flip. We both put "I'm with stupid" and an arrow pointing to the other lane on our back windows.
Mitch dials a 17.10 and I dial a 16.02 (I dialed a 15.99 at first, but switched it at the last minute because my engine temp increased a lot) We line up, Mitch goes, cutting an .018 light, and then I go and cut a .053, red :banghead:
I caught up to him and passed him, he waved at me and I waved back. Mitch had his feet up and drinking a cup of coffee since his car was so slow. Mitch ran a 17.150 and I ran a 16.011. If I didn't redlight I probably would have tapped the brakes at the top end.
Before the 2md round was over, the track had a power failure, Mitch was staged for 3rd round and the track was shut down with the last 3 sets of "Street" class to run 2nd round.
I decided to run the road course with the Delta. I come back and Mitch was gone. I'll let him explain and read my other post about road racing the Delta
