Thanks! I DO try...that's for sure. The video was grainy and far away but it WAS my first ever elimination win and I will keep the video forever!!! LOL
I think I posted it before but don't remember when.

Videos from yesterday 5/2/15 Muncie Dragway
First one is my second timed run that is why the S10 looks like he really smoked me...LOL The Monte does not fare too well "heads up: but she holds her own when it comes time for eliminations!! It's the driver that is the inconsistent link in that equation!! LOL The second video is my first round loss because I broke out (went faster than predicted). Tried dumping on the big end but it was too little, too late

You look so calm and collected when your behind the wheel on the track.
Guess that's why your so consistent. Your Monte sounds good

Where is your camera mounted? Back window?

Keep it up, hope you have a good year at the track Barbara...

How does the passenger not need a helmet? It would be so cute!

Thanks Greg!!
I have had to develop a routine when staging to keep from getting too excited and distracted. But still working on that as my reaction times still stink...LOL But I keep working on it. With routine, I have definitely developed consistency. Working on the dumping and lifting at the end of the track now since the car is pretty consistent. I can tell you now, THAT is an art form!!! Some of these people can do it just like breathing..I am still trying to get it all figured out..LOL
The Go Pro is mounted on my harness bar behind the seats. Think I have it in just the right place to see the tree from either lane.
I need to find my "crew chief" a little helmet in the toy section or something but just have not had time to look!! She would love it!! She sure loves going to the track!!!
