The first round eliminations is scheduled for before the brackets. Plus you are only allowed to run the same car in one event. You have to get eliminated before going to brackets. I've adjusted the cable lots. Twice. Not only that, it turns out that I wasn't wot when I adjusted the first time. In retrospect I should have seen that and ran the car as B/NSS. In the last qualifier I took a lot of cable out, launch at 2000 and shifted at 6000. I then lifted at 100' before the et beams. (amazind how much easier to even see that when going that slow). I still did a 10.90 @ 112. Made me the worse qualifier 11th. I get Doug Duell in the first round and he's dead nuts on. I want this bad because Ive been his bitch 0 for 4 and the odds are more against me now than ever. I need to tree him and lift much earlier. He is so much faster (9.5 with his new bullet) that I can't make a decision at the line. I need to focus like never before and some luck.
