My first run on that lane (with sway bar) was a 1.69 60ft. This was about an hour before. Then I ran almost identical on the opposite lane with sway bar on. Took it off and ran opposite lane....and that is when the times went way down.
All indications say that somehow the timer messed up....and I have never come close to this kind of 60ft. But would it happen twice in a row....and...with everyone running normally on the same lane? Just weird is all.
Anyone else have any idea how that happened?

When you took the sway bar off you could have something under the truck tripping the lights. Its pretty common to do. Anything that gets in the beam of the lights can make it read funny. Serious bracket racers that use to cheat had a moveable drop down flap in the front of their cars to fake the lights out.
Dont be let down next time you run buddy. You may get some 1.6x's with that setup but thats about it.
