    I do not think I have read it anywhere. But at the Round-up drags, we had a member cut a .0000 green light :wow: I have never seen that before.
    Congrats to Donald Drennan for an amazing accomplishment :bowdown:

    I have heard of people getting red lights at some tracks with
    a .00 reaction. Is this possible?

    That is quite amazaing given the fact Donald doesn't race except at Roundups, I've never seen one either.

    Hey man...you don't believe me? I'd show you the slip but it flew out the window on the way home. It happened as we were passing you on the highway. :)

    i don't see what all the fuss is about. i get them all the time, then i wake up. actually there was an article about .000 lights that said they were mistakes because no one tries to cut it that close. it's better known as a "slow red light".
    however, the couple i've gotten i saved the time slips. sure is good for bragging rights though. congratulations don.:)

    Warren Johnson once said "that is just a bad job of red lighting!" Congrats on the light.

    I had 3 Round during the Bracket Nationals that I went
    .002
    .009
    .005
    Three rounds in a row and I was trying to take it easy everytime....I never thought of it as being close to perfect......it was always close to redlight in my opinion :D
