Default Perfect run

A little excited had a perfect run last night in third round of Atco's Tuesday night gambler race. .000 light and ran on my dial, 10.000 on a 10.00. After 20+ years of racing I did it. Made it 6 rounds and actually won the final. My first win of the year.

Very nice!

When you’re on your game and the car has been meticulously set up you get the prize.

Cut a great light and sandbaggers end up back on their trailer. Nice job on that perfect run. Never got one myself, several .000 lights, one .001 off dial on a run.

Congratulations!! That is quite a feat. Closest I’ve ever gotten was a .001 light on a prefect dial in.

You can't do any better than that. Did you get a perfect light sticker for your car?

Thanks guys. It is a lot of fun when your car is on and your hitting the tree. I was dialed 10.00 all night. Ran my dial 4 times and was nailing the tree, had 2 perfect lights and the rest .012 to .008.
The finals was against a 7 sec, dragster. Had him on the tree .011 to his .050 I ran 9.999 on a 10.00 he ran 20 thou too fast. I got the win.
