Nice runs, it was nice meeting you :) (black G8 GT)

[who?me?]

Yeah same here old_goat was a real pleasure. (liquid red G8) I even felt like letting you run my car. I was getting so stressed out over my times. I really wonder if Im that bad of a driver or if its just the DA and weather. My brother (danger0us) is convinced its the weather. But we shall see.

P.S. Thanks for all the tips and help!

Cool.....

Hey, it was nice meeting both of you guys.

We need to get a bunch of us together for a track night and see if we can put our heads together to get these guys into the 13's, and to get me into the 13.0x.

I can't hardly wait for winter to get here and those great negative DA's that go along with it.

For those that don't know how to get your DA.

http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-altitude-calculator.php?track=71&month=9&day=13&year=2008&getweather=Get+Weather+Data

Make your dragway as Houston Raceway Park, then select the proper date, then time. Click on the GET WEATHER DATA button. Then scroll down to the time and click on it. Scroll down the screen to the proper time, then click on the time.

OK, last night (09/18/09 at 7:53pm) the DA was +1784. That means the corrected time for a 14.23 @ 99.5 mph was 13.943 @ 101.597 MPH. However when you post those timeslips, you can't count 13.943, but only your timeslip counts. Here is why, say you get a negative DA of around -1110 your corrected time for that 14.23 @ 99.5 is actually 14.393 @ 98.34 MPH which is actually slower than your timeslip.
