It looks like you smoked the beams while you were spooling and once it cleared you were in the pre-stage beam but you never fully staged. The reason I say that is you can see the stage bulb light just before the pre-stage bulb and then it goes right back out, but the only thing I see that could have blocked the stage beam was the smoke coming from your exhaust.

The 2nd light lit first. Then 1st light then the 2nd light went off and 1st stayed on. I don't believe smoke was thick enough to snake the beams. I've watched it to many times

you never staged. The smoke blocked the Pre-stage and stage beams but not the deep stage beams, but because autostart was not yet activated (requires any combination of 3 bulbs), you were not red-bulbed. The tree clearly shows you going from deep stage to no stage to pre-stage, you never staged.

Sorry Tark, but thats a perfect example of why a person needs to direct the exhaust upward, not out the side.

That Buick runs pretty good, doesnt it?

Oh
Well I think Keystone makes one really similar, and with all that smoke it was hard to tell
:stirthepot:

I may see your tailgate, but as long as you're running that wannabe Cummins set up and racing in the left lane, Id still stand a good chance of winning
:woott:

Have you ever thought of trying a higher stall?
:coolspot:










:hug:
(It's all in good fun fellas, Tark's my suthern brutha)

A turn up pipe or a stack WILL be added before the next race!

Quick spool and high egt's are what I see from the magic 8-ball in your future...

:coolspot:

that's a low blow, not my fault the NEW High stall convertor took out my new fresh built Trans a week before world finals and had to rebuild the sum beach!:(










Always fun

I learned a costly and valuable lesson this year. Unfortunately it was at world finals I had to learn it being this was my first time to smoke out the beams.
