Thanks, Pat!

That's where the luck comes in.... I ended up with back-to-back bye runs 5th and 6th rounds (opponent couldn't start car for 5th and had laddered bye in the semis). Good thing too because 5th was 11.77 on 11.69 dial (and I'm not entirely sure why) then 11.64 on 11.73 in the 6th. The final would have been really close to 11.630 had I not lifted judging by the 1000' but could have been 11.62x... fortunately had some room to work with

I should find out today from the post-man on the cash.... I think it will be around $200

I figure I'm doing good if I can maintain around .030 package. A .005 light is a little too close for comfort for me (foot-brake).... Stage 1/2" deeper or 1/2 pound more air in the front tires and you're in the red zone.
