Yeh has to do with the beam box's getting knocked and not recalibrated proberly. And had left out and right out on different nights.

If you subtract your ET from the 1000ft time a 104mph should be about 2.160.

good to see you are still reeling off 14's .a 2.064 60ty is very tidy indeed from a manual.what rpm do you launch it at?
104 mph thats gold ,i'd frame the slip any hang it on the wall .

Mph is defenitely a little steep considering your et and 60ft. would expect more down the lines between 92-95mph. anyhow thats a great effort :
