Robbie 1st round Mark Smith runs 10.85 @180 mph!!! surely that aint right, that would be the fastest ever in super street.

Well I was a 1st round runner up AGAIN.This -1000 air then half way normal was too tough for me to deal with. Looks like I was on a 10.92 pass and with a 039 light I was a setting duck. Congrats to the winners and RUs in S/St Les Harris over Mike Griggs I think this was Les's 1st win SG Greg Slack over Jason Kenny SC Jason Bator over Troy Williams. Now for the down time between races. I've got some work to do for the Gator Nats I'm putting more gear in the car (and I don't have a spare carrier) so gotta build a 3rd member not that big a deal just a pain in the BUTT. Then their's the normal on the road stuff do the laundry, fill the motor home water tank ect ,ect yea I know stop complaining. We went to the Blue Agave Mexican restaurant yesterday food was good company was excellent margaritas where great (I was told). Photos to come, were still having issues with photos but we have them. Oh also I never heard any talk of a S/St car going 180 mph but I'll ask around.

Yeah, I looked at the time slip and knew something was wrong, I knew he didn't come by me at 180! They had several clock issues over the weekend from what I could tell.

I asked around the 180 mph was bogus.

That adds up. The difference in trap time between 155 and 180 is just a hair over 4 hundredths.

I had a similar thing happen in St Louis a few years back in Super Comp. I was on the brakes hard and the ET slip showed what I figured I would have run wide open, and at 185. My car went 172 or something at that time.

I won the round anyway, as did Mark. Wonder what the officials would have done if it didn't work out that way in either case.

Thanks Nick, we're going to try but I'm stinking it up pretty bad right now. The Gators are going to be interesting (finish line stopping). I hope to be able to go 9.90 at 110 mph. I went 119 in testing and needed to slow down alot.
