Have to agree. Smoking the lights out is common with diesels. Put an upturned tip on your exhaust to fix it. I have a 7 second timeslip from smoking out the lights.

Starting at about 1.6x you will start spinning all 4 tires and have to switch to DR's or slicks, regardless of track prep.

That's gotta be it, I have racked my brains trying to figure this one out.

If the 60' timer gets messed up would it affect the rest of the split times by the same amount?

Only reason I ask is because when I compared his slip to one of my old ones that had the same mph his split times were anywhere from .6-.8 quicker. I'm guessing all the timers get wacky once you screw one up.

were you on the left or right lane or both lanes ?, lol. I believe the 14x time slip but not the other one. I think its mixed up 14.2 et with the 1.8xx reaction time.

I have seen this before, he staged with his back tires and broke the 60 ft. mark with his front tires, giving himself a full truck head start. It happens. I am shure he didn't do it on purpose to try and show a better time, just an accident.

sorry the front wheels were the ones I staged. dont know what kind of track will let you stage your rear wheels.

I am planning to go out to kansas city next month and I am going to try and run it again.
