Thanks Kevin. At MAXUS 09, I ran from 12.76 to 12.85.

On the .400 pro tree, a perfect R/T would have been .000. If you cut a .400 light, that means, you left 4 tenths after the green light. It's not that bad of a R/T, but you can do a lot better if you launch as SOON as you see the full ambers. Do not wait for the green light. My R/Ts ranged from .287 to .376 all day. It's tough to get better than .287 while foot braking without a faster car, deep staging, or anticipating the ambers, which you never want to do. That's how you redlight.

On the 5 tenths bracket (aka sportsman) tree, I launch right at the 3rd amber without anticipating it. Every car and every driver is different. But, I am able to average between .040 - .070 RT on a normal bracket tree. But I've been out of practice for a while since I haven't been bracket racing recently. I'd like to get back in the game now that I have my car back together.

I've got a few more things I can do to squeeze out some more HP and reduce weight by this winter before I start spraying nitrous. So I'll probably just be doing some normal TnT sessions for right now.
