Default new best, barely

Tony, this ones probably hard to believe after you saw me run 13.1 (missed 3rd), but I pulled this out of my **** on the very last run of the night:

60ft...1.936
330...5.276
1/8....8.003
mph...90.35
1000..10.306
1/4.....12.260
mph....114.06

the weather wasn't exactly record setting conditions. 90% humidity, 30.10 baram, 65 degrees. It was so juicy out, I had to leave my windows down right to staging time to keep them from fogging over.

anyone have an idea what this equates to in density altitude? HRP (sea level)

wow, thanks Justin for the congrats and the link!

I've been trying to understand how the weather is affecting the runs, and it looks like it's rather significant on the trap speeds. I even had a 112 trap last night; WAY off that Saturday I met you.

I'm tickled pink at that slip considering the weather. And yes, I'll probably see you at HRP. What day are you going?

Congrats Jeff! You are breaking in that Corvette the right way bud! Too bad more Z06 owners do not go out and "enjoy" these cars to their potential.

Jeff, I saw you run last night. That is a beautiful car. We were running very close to the same ETs last night. As far as the A/D goes I calculated it to be "horrible".lol. With good air conditions , you will see some 11.9Xs. I got lucky with some good air and me and the wife both pulled 11.98s about a month ago. I'll introduce myself next time. It's kinda hard to get away to socialize when your playing pit crew and racing. How did you do in the eliminations? We did ....well...UUhhh...can you say redlight? My wife and Tony can.lol.See ya.
