Default Back from 41.

Well car was a little slow today ran11.5-11.6 all day but it was hot as hell out there. Im sure the da was thru the roof, and on a few runs there was a little slippage at the line. Not sure if it was track prep or my tire issue. Nice meeting you Jay, cage looks gooder cant wait to get mine now.

Yea, I was there as well, you probably saw my car. It was the one running way too much ******* tire and bogging the hole shot.

My **** was slow today too and I blame the weather! Still a new best though 13.3@104mph. It's got 12s in it yet!!!!!

What'd everyone else run today? anyone else have a new best?

i think it stands for Density Altitude, other than that, i have no idea how it affects the car

just guessing but im assuming if the da is higher than the air is thinner, which means your engine isn't getting enough air to run at its full potential, so a lower da will yeild faster ETs

then again, im just guessing

Why go to the track when it's that hot? I went jet skiing... a much better way to take advantage of the hot weather.

Your right it is an air density measurement.
The more dense the incoming air, the more power can be made.

Ya, the weather was insane! It was nice to match some more faces to their user names. And I could not get any good runs in on the hose, since it was blowing thru the converter. Ran some shitty times N/A do to crappy 60ft. And thanks D.J. for being a part of the pit crew! LOL!
