Chad,
   Remember that the G-tech is a different animal than the christmas tree at
the track. At the track you have your staging lights and you dont with the
gtech. You gtech starts counting the second you have movement and the tree
doesnt. The tree wont start timing ya until you break the beam. Gtech times
are usually a wee bit slower than track times unless you have a decent amount
of launch experience.
