damn seeing all you fast cam only cars runnin mid to low 10's is making me ansy to start my setup and see if i can catch up. Keep at it, maybe with a little better air and more fine tuning you can tackle the top spots.

Congrats! The car was running much better than when I saw you at e-town.
It leaves nice an straight too! (Not like me)
Keep working it, you'll move up even further.
The air really wasn't that good. (mid 50's?)
I am surprised you are saying -500.
At the end of the day, when the air was getting better it was +750 according to the weather station I was looking at.
I didn't follow it closely though, because I was making my own atmosphere.

If the track had it's own weather station and that information was readily available to Dragtimes I would say it's dead on accurate but if the numbers they're using to arrive at these DAs were retrieved from a weather station located on top of a pole 30 feet in the air over in Mount Holly which is roughly 10-15 miles away then of course the numbers might not be 100% correct.
By the same token, I don't feel that the handheld unit that Steve is referring to was entirely accurate either as it might've been reading a little high in my opinion based on how my and other cars ran. Though it was the highest humidity (not a huge factor in determining DA) and it was actually raining at that point (yes, I did actually make a low 11 second pass in the rain
).My guess is that yes, in the morning it might've been around a -500 DA but later on it definitely went higher.

The calculations are potentially accurate but unfortunately the actual measuring devices that they're using for the raw data/numbers might not be.
