interesting... don't think my weather station has that feature though.

Thats why ive been saying bag a little bit. I run the same class and my car does the same thing. It sucks watching the other guy just drive around and nothing you can do, but if you are holding 5-6 hundreths you can make sure it doesnt happen.

very true and I have to bag. Bracket racing seems to be one big learning curve.

Very true. We have been logging OA instead of DA for a couple of years now with good results.
