How many passes have you made?

I just counted every timeslip I could find in my file. I had 150 1/4 mile passes, and another 30 slips from 1/8th mile. These passes are from 6 different tracks in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia. This is only the slips I could find, I am sure I have thrown away and lost another 100 or so somewhere. I have only been racing for about 2 years also. How many do you have?

I posted mine a while back, it was 215 or something like that, that was before this season though I think. Granted I didn't drag race much this year I went 2x in april 2x in may and 1x in june I think, probably another 50 passes there so I'd say I've got in the neighborhood of 260-270. I've got every single slip in a folder but I haven't updated my timeslip spreadsheet in like a year and a half so I can't just look at that.

I have thousands of timeslips, or had, threw a bunch out that were old, except the important ones.

Yes, I raced entirely too much for a long time. I don't get out to the track as much now, but I do have around 100-125 for this year.

I have kept 91 slips, but I only keep the ones with decent times. I throw away any with really bad 60' or a miss shift. I would guess I have about 120-130.

About 15 total in the last 2 years. Started at 15.7 and ended up with a 14.6 so far.
I'm going back out next month.

I have had 6 total runs this year in two trips to the track. It sucks to live 50 miles from the closest 1/4 mile, and when you get there, it is $30 to get in, and you only get 2 runs in 7 hours.

47 timeslips in the past 1.5 years for me. I haven't gone in a while because my clutch is fried. I need more mods to try and beat my 14.7.

I found 120 slips. I know a lot are missing from back when I first got my car. I am guessing about 50-80 slips are missing. So, around 170-200 passes since I bought my car in Aug 2001.

When I first got my car, I was only interested in making my car faster. So, I would only go to the track when I had a good chance of beating my previous record. But when I moved to Las Vegas, I got into bracket racing and that's when I would start to make about 8 passes every couple/few weeks. Whenever a bracket race would come up, I would attend.

This year has been fun and the 1st year with this car. I made just over 30 passes between april and july. I would have made more but my clutch has been slipping since day 1. I cannot wait to install my new one (OEM with a 5th gen PP.... well if it fits).

I need to take the auto back to the track.
