    It was a great time I went 12.39 best with my 80 shot of nitrous with a 350

    I did not see ANY other 350's racing my darn motor is 25 years old now.
    Come on guys get with the program.

    Stop worrying if the darn thing is going to blow up.

    I forgot to say that when I ran my first round when I left the line I SAW a green light in my lane when I took off and I did not know I had red lighted until I got my time slip. Now I know I saw a green light but shouldn't I have seen a RED light come on instead of the green when I left the line?
    I was in the right lane

    I have always seen the red light on the tree when I red-light.

    I had heard about 4 other racers had red lighted in that first round but I did not know what lanes they were in.

    I did not see the light flashing above the towers since I was paying attention to what was in the other lane coming after me so I thought I had beat the guy in the other lane.

    Was just wondering if anyone else had seen this or is this something new or changed.

    You won't see a red light here they use true start so if you are the slower car your competitor does not know you red light either won't turn red until the faster car leaves

    News Flash: Tom "Wildcat" Wagner won the V8 class with his trusty 13 second daily driver '69 Wildcat. I left at 9:30 after he won the second round and talked to him while on my way home at 1 AM and he said he just got back on the road after putting his street tires on. I got home at 3:30 and he expected to get home a good bit later than that. Race all day, drive all night. He's an iron man!

    With all the regular racers it was tough to get a true idea of how many Buicks were there but it really looked like a good turnout. HOT, but a good time!

    Good talking to Fox's Den about 350 stuff at the track.

    So that potentially gives the faster car a chance to red light worse, and lose?

    I see now that makes sense that actually gives the other lane a chance to red light. That seems like a good move there. It had been a while going to the track.

    I take it then the faster driver would also see his light flashing at the tower at the end of the track if paying attention, after leaving the line.

    Actually both of us had broken out also so if he would have red lighted they would have made the winner whoever was the closet to the Et and the red light or rather green light in this matter.

    I just wish I ran on the green side since it looked like we had a good race I had him by a good car and as he was a second faster.

    I was -.097 on the light

    At least that makes it fair for both drivers.

    Still a blast

    Worst red light would be the loser if both red lighted

    only ONE 350 guy showed up. that's embarrassing. all the 350 mouths out there and only ONE showed up.:eek::eek:
    t/a might as well stop making anything for the 350's.
