you wont see -1500 at BG thats for sure
You need to head for the east coast for that, as cool as it was in BG (58* when I made the last pass) the humidity is so high the DA was over 1000 feet. In November you can catch a 0 DA day there but thats about as good as it gets
Now Atco on the other hand

Damn, I was under the impression you guys had low low altitude and better weather than us. Our track sits 662 ft above sea level.
Lets go to Atco in October or Nevember then!

KP, bring the car to Florida in Jan-Feb and you'll likely see negative DA. I once ran in -500 DA with a tailwind in January a few years back

I broke down and I'm going to put manual steering, brakes, fabricated spindles, lighter brakes on the car. Hate to get rid of the power steering but its almost fast enough to be a race car now I guess

I already have an aftermarket K-member, A-arms and drag brakes. This is just a completely different rack/k-memeber brake setup. Its paid for so I figured I'd use it
AC/heat has been gone for three years. The front end parts and loosing the PS will save me 24lbs over what I have now. I didnt keep the power steering to brag, I just dont like driving it with the manual steering.

I'm pretty good at making a lot of passes, when I let off the car every time I hit the short turnoff and hauled *** back to the staging lanes and was able to get right back on the track. The last 9.02 and 9.05 were back to back as well, thats why I just hate to do an A2W intercooler, I love making passes

Problem is she is 5'3 and I am 6'4 so I have the seat bolted to the floor. She cant even see over the dash. Otherwise I'd put an air shifter in it and point her down the track and tell her to pretend the person in the other lane is a soccer mom trying to pass her and get in front of her before the next stoplight. She would have no problem holding it floored till it ran out of gas then
