Default 4600' da`

A new level of suck for AZ.

I was going for my farewell track outing tonight, but with this weather hell no.

I hate this state.

I'd rather have high DA and a running car then good air and an engine on a stand.

At my nearest track DA was in the 500's this evening, and dipped into the 300's later on in the night.

Believe it or not some people actually like drag racing instead of just running their cars at the track. da isn't everything. Why not go out and have a good time? Just curious?

can always just go out there, run, have a good time. Then go to a DA calc when you get home and "recorrect" your times.

We hardly ever get under 1500' feet here. Average day in the summer is 25-3000 ft. with the heat. I still don't care, yes it would be nice to get the air some of you guys do but it isn't a good reason not to go out and have a good time. But I bracket/index race not just a T&T guy.

That's the thing. I don't enjoy drag racing anymore. Hence selling the car I set up FOR drag racing.

Only reason I was going was to see how the suspension and DRs would have helped. So after selling the car I don't have to wonder.

They also canceled drags last night due to how terrible the weather got. So if I went I would have been screwed more so.
