Anyone that was there did Dmitri smoke the lights?
Dmitri's 9.99 was clean and I have it on video. I will post it soon.
Congrats to Dimitri on the win!!! Because that is what counts!!! Awesome runs and way to put some of that dyno power to the track!!
Although, if you analyze the run, it looks like the 9.99 was probably smoke aided by at least 2 tenths and shows exactly why passes need to be backed up by 1%.
And before some of you yahoo's start with the attacks on me...I think it's GREAT that Dimitri is out there racing and I am not "hating" at all!!!
Look at the smoke across the beams just after he leaves...
Now, look at the relationship between the 2 trucks at 60'. Dimitri is a FULL truck length ahead or at least 20'.
But if you look at the time slip and add each competitors R/T and 60'... 0.276 + 1.549 =
1.825 and 0.264 + 1.627 =
1.891 there is a difference of only
0.066 seconds. Also it looks like Dimitri left well before his competitor not 1 thousanth after.
At 60', Dimitri and his competitor would be going about 45 mph or 66 feet per second.
0.066 seconds at 45 mph (66'/sec) is
4.3 feet
20" is more like a 0.3 second difference not a 0.066. That and all Dimitri's other passes had 60's between 1.60's and 1.70's not low 1.50's.
Again....I AM NOT HATING!!!!! I think it was an AWESOME pass for Dimitri!!!:rockwoot: Just until it can be be backed up with another pass within 1%, the evidence looks like that one was probably a 10.1-10.3 pass.
