Default How bad is this weather: 50* 83%H 29.80 baro @ 50'

I was at MIR on Friday night and the weather seemed really bad.

although I ran a 12.400 @ 107.8.

My best is a 12.270 @ 109.8

Only difference is now I have 3.42s instead of 3.23s and the weather was worse.

Comes out to a DA of -277'. Wish our air got to be that bad. Try running at a track that is 1200' and a 80+ degree day and a DA of 3000'.

At the Roswell, NM track, the actual elevation is 3600ft! And the DA would always be at or over 5000ft!
