Yeah, funny. :roll:

No Wally for me... But my car ran good, no problems all day long (for once)

Time run 1 - .178 RT, 1.778 60', 12.661 @ 104.93. DA was 2997, 92 degrees, 53% humidity.
Time run 2 - .082 RT, 1.758 60', 12.668 @ 104.59. DA was 3273, 97 degrees, 43% humidity.

Let's see... Two .66's, what should I dial? :-k

Eliminations run 1 - .105 RT, 1.773 60', 12.707 @ 104.66. DA was 3544, 101 degrees, 36% humidity. Good thing my opponent bulbed, I had a bad RT and didn't run my number. I bumped my dial up to 12.68 for round 2.
Eliminiations run 2 - .082 RT, 1.751 60', 12.663 @ 104.69. DA was 3415, 99 degrees, 34% humidity. I should've stuck with the .66 dial. Not only did I break out, but I got beat to the line by .022.

Oh well!

It was an interesting day... One guy smacked the wall on a big money run, another guy blew up, it looked like he had a multi-stage nitrous system and when the last stage kicked in there was a huge fireball and parts went everywhere. There was a photographer and a bunch of models roaming around, they said they were from a magazine from California. They used my car as a backdrop for a bunch of shots. I told them to make sure the sponsor decals were easy to read. ;-) I also had a pair of jackasses block my car in at my pit, I called security, they announced it over the loudspeaker and just when the wrecker showed up to haul them away the owners showed up to move their cars.

Sorry you didn't get your Wally.
But it sounds like you had fun and your car ran good in that heat.
You'll get it next year :3gears:

I was trying to figure that out myself... It's hard to tell!

I've got another video, I've got to encode it then I'll put it up. It might be easier to tell on that one.
