Bob,
It would have been a high 5.6 if I wasn't using my right foot as a top end throttle stop. Wasn't bad for a freshly scraped track, a little more bare than I care for.
Glad you won $50 off my win; I wouldn't bet on me again. The odds are starting to stack against me.
It was good visiting with you all again! Till next time.

B KINGThanks for the congrats guys!
I'll start this by saying, it's good to have my 5.70 bracket tune back. In case you didn't know, I raced on messed up tune last weekend. It could only muster mid 5.90s to 6.0s & the variance was ridiculous! We found the issues to be -2* timing from our base setting & a burnt header gasket on the O2 sensor side.
Anyway, I entered 2 index classes 5.80 & 6.50 & did some hot lapping. Fri. I had made 2 5.80 hits during the TnT. Sat. I made a hit for the 6.50 index. I guessed at the spot drop, don't laugh. I dropped at the 330' mph cone & coasted to the 1/8th at 6.63. That was my time run for the day.
The only reason I brought up the 6.50 index, because I was disappointed with myself. I missed my spot drop & broke out with a 6.44. I beat myself up on the 6-hour drive home today.
As for the 5.80 index. I was overall happy with my performance but need to work on the .400 pro tree set-up a little more. While no one out treed me, there's still some room for improvement.
Next 5.80 race for me will be in July at Famosa, CA.
2BKING has 2 points races coming up this next weekend. No rest for this old man.
