Just wanted to say, I knew most of this before even departing for this race at Good times Drag Strip in Winnemucca, NV. The outlaw track is run by a non-profit organization. It's 4,600' ASL (DA was 6900' or above), the track was constructed around 2007 & is all asphalt, except the burnout box. From what I saw the track gets a light spray of glue once per day & gets dragged once or twice a day.

My #1 goal was to have a good time & I succeeded with icing on the cake!

My 1st run on the track was a 6.291 & I should have pulled the chute at 400'; this was a time shot for the 6.00 index class. My 2nd hit was a 5.951 & that was what my app was predicting. In eliminations I ran (1) 5.977 when my opponent went red & the rest of the runs were low 6.0s. My reaction times were better than all opponents I ran.

As mentioned in another post, I won the 6.0 index class & the icing on the cake was the pay-out; it was much bigger than the trophy! It was a midget trophy but I didn't really care.

The next day bracket race was run in the middle of the day. My 1st run was a 5.988 & the rest of the passes were low 6s. The car was spinning the tires at the hit. I had a launch retard activated but I was a retard for not killing more power with it. I went out in the 2nd round after a buyback round.

I plan to go back next year to support the track if my racing schedule allows it. I had a great time & was a driving fool on the track!
