Why are AZ track times so slow? I read all the 10 second club post about guys hitting these awesome times with thier cars. Cool right? I know some of the fellas here in PHX who have the exact same mods or better who are running mid 12's at best. Mine is a really sad # I wont even mention. Whats the deal? Could it be track prep or weather? I'm a little confused about why we cant run the same #'s as these guys elsewhere with the same mods? Its a pattern I've seen from talking to the guys at friday night drags when I see them. Any opinions? Input?

I'm not sure about firebird, but I know that in in tucson at SIR were sitting at 3,075 feet above see level. then add in the shitty track prep, with a DA that will almost always be above 3300 and you get a mid 10 sec car running high 11's.
it don't bother me to bad though, cause it affects all cars in this state. if you run say a 11.5 in tucson . you should be able to run .3-.5 faster in phoenix. just cause you guys are lower then us.

i'm happy with my results down here in az...couple bolt ons and run 12.5-.6 off the bottle, and 11.7's on the bottle. Cars full weight, i know if i go back home to ny those numbers will change by .3-.4 but an overall happy....to answer your question you have bad air + track elevation over 1000 + prep issues sometimes
