Default 10's all motor ..... 4900ft Density Altitude

I got into the 10's tonight for the first time!!!

10.93 at 127.05
1.57 60ft
4900ft DA



the car went 11.14 at 126.78 off the trailer then 11.01 at 126.78 , then 10.93

two weekends ago it went 11.13 at 125.00 then 11.18 at 125.00 then 11.8 at 125.8 after we added some fuel to the third pass.


Nothing changed from two weeks ago but tire pressure and two-step settings.

Those are great times for such terrible air. Congrats

I don't like racing in 3000ft DA. I can't imagine 4900.

Thanks guys , ya 4900 ft sucks but it was better than two three weeks ago when it was 6000ft DA and the car was running 11.13 / 11.18 / 11.18 / 11.19 / 11.21


I cant wait to get back to a low altitude track and play with the suspension a little too. I'm going to call Madman on Tuesday for a little advice.


Not that it matter much to me, but the car crept forward on the line and red lit before i dumped the clutch. I dont know if i have a worn disk on the twin disk or just need to rebleed the clutch or adjust the pedal a little. You can see it in the video it rolls half a wheel revolution before i dump the clutch. That may have cost me a 10.8XX.


o well , always next time

Great times for the DA, I think a conversion factor is around 1mph for every 1,000 DA? Around Sea level would be 131 trap speeds for that monster.
