18mph off and only 2tenths off best et.

a scan of all time slips would help though.

I know that's how long a 1/4 mile is, but your mph is the average speed between either 1290'-1320', or 1260'-1320'.
We need to meet up sometime and go to the track. I'd like to see your truck too.

The track beams can mess up sometimes. It does it at our 1/8th mile track all the time. One guy was runnin a diesel and was runnin 9.20's@78mph all night long, and then all of a sudden went a 8.7@87, and was outran at the end of the track by a car that was runnin 80mph. And I promise that diesel was not reeling him in! Track beams mess up all the time. If someone gets a rediculous time, the only way to find out if it was a fluke is to see if they can do it again.
