I just checked the weather last night as well. Just guessing that DA was dropping to -300 or so. It will get colder yet here in October, so the big numbers are yet to come.

Here's the weather at the closest weather station to Stanton as of last night.

Well done indeed Taner

You were just about jumping outta your fire suit when we stopped to pick up my chute. And you hadn't even seen the slip yet

I knew it was a fast pass for both of us, just felt good

Now let me borrow that 1.30 60' next time

harlan, you can have it! I hope to better that 60' next time out. watching the video i was just yanking the front wheels off of the ground all the way through first, the limiters kept the wheels back on the ground as i launched. sort of like a rock skipping across a pond. i actually waited for the shift light at 7100 rpm as well, versus short shifting like the previous runs.

great 60' = BMR!

Harlan,

when the car left and pulled like it did through first i knew it was all good! all i had to do was hit each gear as fast as i possibly could, lol! that to happened and I knew it had to be close to my p.b.
so r u gettin' good at packing that chute! lol!

Jason,

all in due time!

Allan,
so many records so little time!
yeah the mph felt great, i knew it was gonna run even faster from the previous runs mph.
Roman ran but we are going to pull his clutch out and check a few things. hopefully it will be ready with time to spare for thunder. he went 70's granny shifting, not double clutching like he should

Joe,
i am waiting for Thunder for a new pb on motor! it will all be worth it there! plus i can make sure my A/F is set for that awesome cool/dense air!
