    Who wants to venture a guess?

     



    What do you think happened below? (Left Lane) From this information it could be a number of things but who will guess what really happened?

    These time-trial runs were made last Sunday about an hour and a half apart...

    Good guess but that is one I haven't done yet. Never crossed the center-line (although I think I've found every other way to lose a round )

    Well the other thing is the 000 reaction time--so did it count as a red and disable the remainder of the system?

    On the 2nd run it looks like you made it to the 60' timer but you didn't make it to the 330' timer. Did you spin out before the 330' timer and exit the track driving back thru the starting line? It's a strange guess but I've seen stranger things happen

    Yes I'm with Barb on this, Please put us out of our misery and we can only pray the car isn't in for a major rebuild.

    Big earthquake hit- ground opened up & swallowed the car before the 330 point?
    Car went airborne & cleared all the lights past the 60 ft point?


    You broke & were pushed back to start line for tow back to pits.
