George, I understand delay boxes help you out with consistent reaction times. But they still have a human component and can be beat. Its not unusual for me to run my dial or + .01 with a reaction of .010 or better. That will get its share of wins wherever.
Who the he!! do you think you are running down the people at my track and their abilities ? Its been in continuous operation since 1955. How many tracks can say that.
We have a few racers that travel all over the country for big time bracket races. The Judge I posted pics of took home 40,000$ in the Million Dollar Race that Verdi won. He is tough but can be beat. Never raced him in eliminations but have beat plenty of people who have beat him.
I just lost a race to a 10.90 Super Street car. Its a 8 flat car with throttle stop. The race was as close as you could get, got his respect and he was won divisional s.
I cut a .027 and most of the time that gets a win, but he cut a .020. Both ran our dials.

Yesterday I was HORRIBLE. Was going just fine, cut a .013 on last time trial. Then to father of the 10.90 guy along with 3 other sons that all race Fords collapsed. They pit right behind us. Choked on food or had a mini stroke. Had all the fire and ambulance people there. He is going to be OK but my head was not right after that. I do best when I think about absolutely nothing.
