Default US 41 today!!!!

The DA is ******* killer right now. -1667!!!! It should be in the negatives all day long. 41 is running their SCC event from 11am-6pm. I will be there with my car, and I know Blue-Z will be there as well with his race car as well.

Well, the DA was -1667 at 8am, but by the time they opened and started making passes, it jumped up to -20, which is still not too bad for the Midwest in October. I had a personal best today even though my rear end housing is beyond twisted and making all kinds of noises. All of my passes were within two thousandths of a second I will make a post in the Drag Racing Results section as soon as I eat my Garden Burger sub

The lower it is, the faster you will go. I dropped 2 tenths and went 2 mph faster just by the change in weather from 80* to 55*.
