If talking about the ETs, the first pass I simply messed up by not realizing the sub has three forward speeds versus two in the Deuce, which I normally race.
The second pass, which was a solo pass and not on here, I ran a 12.472 @ 112.87, and would have been 2-3 tenths quicker, but for some reason the sub was slow getting into second. I thought maybe I had just stayed in second too long, but during the next pass it would not engage second at all.
Don’t know if it is the shifter (’70s vintage) or something in the trans.
When we get the shifter/trans sorted out I think Rob can get it back into the 11s.

I noticed in that last video ("cwc vs. sYc" 14.6 @ 77 that didn't show up in the post quote for some reason) that it looked like the car nosed over shortly after the launch, then I saw smoke in the lights--was just hoping it didn't wound itself.
