We did rain out on Saturday, but the track let us move our points race to Sunday... Here's the skinny:
I was on my game!!
I was top qualifier when we went into eliminations...
I earned that by having a .009RT and top speed in my class - 94.58MPH.
My quickest time was 15.826 with a .007RT and the trap speed was 93.70MPH
My fastest time was 16.281 with a .071RT and the trap speed was 94.58MPH
My most accurate pass was a 15.98 dial-in and my ET was 15.984
I landed in second place at the end. I threw the final round by breaking out by a long shot (.154). I had the race in the palm of my hand at the lights, my RT was .007 and my opponent's RT was .385. As I was pulling away, I was 1.5 car lengths ahead at the 1000' mark, I usually tap the breaks and ride their bumper to the finish lane to win, but I knew I was breaking out and wanted to see how low I could get my ET. So, even though I lost the final round, I made a split second decision to stay in it to get a good ET.
It was a good day for Jetta Girl Racing!! My car performed beautifully, the PSI never went above 25.7PSI, my clutch seemed to hold, and traction was excellent. My car was a bit sluggish on the launch, but I think I was holding back to be easy on the stock clutch, but it was a freight train in the top end...
