Congrats on the new bests, guys.

Roarin 8, do you have any idea what the Density Altitude was for 12/3/05? Was it anything like 11/26/05's when the temperature was like 47* with 29% humidity? Thanks in advance for the info.

Damon I would say that the air was just as good as last week if not a little better in the morning then fell off a little in the afternoon. It was a good time plenty of ls1s down there yesterday, sorry you and sheamus missed it.

haha

Yeah, I got too lazy thinking that the place would be too crowded. Also, I just didn't feel like coming only to practice launching with no new modifications. I figure that I'll spend my time at Atco better once I get my factory 1LE control arms installed in a few weeks (as I gotta stay away from polyurethane and rod ends) and then a pair of Nitto 555R's in spring. I gotta get baselines for each of those mods launching the same way. I'm hoping I finally get the sub-2.0's with the Nitto's launching any way I want.

How did you do? Did you finally hit 12.8's with the Nitto's? What are your mod plans? You gotta get a sig.

Roarin 8, sorry to hijack your thread (at least temporarily). I think it'll be cool if you guys linked your timeslip pics above to your sig (--just a suggestion since you guys already have a scan or picture of your best timeslips).

Thanks for the info. Sorry, I didn't notice the link to the 12.2 vid in your sig until you mentioned it. I checked it out. That's an awesome car and a really good timeslip for the mods that you have on your car. 12.2@109--I guess that was run in warmer weather? The Nitto DR's that you have in your sig--are they the 555R's or the actual Nitto drag radials? My little brother was also wondering what the other car was that you ran against in your vid. Thanks for the info.

Those are the Nitto drags. That run was done in November about 60 degrees or so. The other car was a Nissan Maxima that did get into the high 13s later on in the day.
