Congrats, Todd!
John is a great racer.

Congrats to Ken also.
He is usually in the finals every year it seems like.

Heard Probird had a problem and was racing his Dad's car.

I did. I ran my dad's 74 all weekend. I broke the #3 rod on the very first pass on Friday before the 60' clocks. It took all of Friday and Saturday morning to get all the bugs and gremlins worked out of Dad's car. I lost 2nd round both Fri and Sat. Saturday I lost to RB3 (Ron Beach the 3rd). Finally went some rounds on Sunday. I lost at 7 cars to Ron Beach Jr. Those Beach boys had my number. We had a great time even with all the issues. I'll post up some autopsy pics in another thread of the engine damage once I get it pulled out tonight.

I think the timer difference would be the difference from the normal 60' time and the false one, if it is known to be a good launch. (not spinning)

.160 seconds difference in this case.
Take that from the reaction time, could be the real RT.
Was he that late? (.160 or so)
You probably left just right after he did, if so.


Take that .160 and add it to each of the wrong times, to get what it probably was.


Also did he cross before you? (about 3 feet)

With all of these errors, surprised they didn't have someone check things out.

I agree. With all the timing system issues brought to their attention on Saturday I can’t believe they didn’t try to fix it before Sunday. I bet it was happening on Friday too. Usually it’s a bad starting line photocell that hangs up and doesn’t start the run till you are already on your way to the 60’ clocks. We had the same issue almost all season last year at Havana. I quit going there because if it. It’s hard to catch on a slower car. I had video of it happening to a fast funny car. He was well past the 60’ clocks before the stage bulbs ever went out. I think it said he ran a 2.75 or something like that. Too bad they didn’t take the time to fix it. It really screwed up the final outcome of all the racing.
