I had one also, but don't know how to do a screen cap and didn't think anyone would believe me.

After figuring it out, it was consistently doing .16-.18. Had more than a few disasters, like double clicking.

best average was .1286. That was after about 10 tries. anything under .06 is considered lucky anticipation move.

My best RT so far is .007. I lost a final once by getting a -.011...that sucked. Was averaging .060 all day up until then.

Of course, that's in my GTP...not the Sky when I had it. LOL We've had guys get .000 and even -.000 red lights at the Pontiac Drag Day events.
