The DA looks to have started out under 250ft or negative. As the temp rose it got as high as 1500ft at 5pm. Most of the day it was under 1000ft.
Track altitude = 931 ft

I used this calculator to get the numbers from the weather station info I posted above.

How was the track prep? Judging by the picture you posted above, you didn't have a problem hooking

congrats Brady! it was great to meet you and all of the other folks from the board! overall i had a BLAST!!! thanks to Tony and all who supported this event, especially the sponsors, whom this event might not have happened without!
i am glad i could help in any way!!! sorry i had to spray the small shot in the finals, hell i actually only ran it through 3 gears in the final, have to get used to the pistol grip shifter, i might change it back if i keep struggling with it!
QTRZ28 = NO CLASS !
he f'n double bulbed me in the power adder semi's! he can go f himself! i could have done the same to him in the outlaw finals, but i couldn't stoop myself to his level! it was priceless that i brought up courtesy staging in the driver's meeting and got burned on it, he was even pissed that i entered outlaw! i hope he reads this, i will be back next year, as well as a few faster cars, i am certain quicker than mine. if 9.44 is all he has, he better stay home! lol!!! i made about 16 passes, hot lapping my car all day long in 3 classes. no time to bump the tune up from 175hp to crush the no-class racer. but there is always next year
track went away in the afternoon. the track personnel decided to run out the bracket cars! wtf!!! i didn't see any further prep of the track there after, heck i got loose in 2nd gear on motor in the afternoon! that is just wrong!!!! the crappy weather in the morning tightened up the schedule and everything ran fast and furious there after.
i know i have some input on tweaks for next year, gonna have to call tony, i just got home 30 minutes ago! 1600 miles round trip! whew! i think Tony will be home in about an hour or so! lol!!!!!
till next year

I had a blast and even ran a new personal best...11.88 @ 118 
Good to meet everyone and put a face with the names too.
I ran in the N/A class, but in the first round I was paired up with Brady (roadtrip120) so needless to say I knew I was done for the day. But its all good, my 10-bolt held high 11/low 12 sec passes all day without complaining and I took my car home in one piece.
I'll be back for sure next year....but with a 9", a bottle, and some dedicated drag wheels instead of my 18s

taner, i talked to that fella when John from GMHTP was shooting the winners pics. He is a typical street racer.

It sounds like it was interesting. I'd like to see any more pictures if anyone has them. Maybe I'll have something viable to race next year. May I put in a suggestion to lower the raceweights.... 
I pulled this of the LTX forum, great stuff
