E-town tonight?
Weather looks pretty good for running tonight at Englishtown. I wanted to go first thing tomorrow morning, but they are running a Honda/Acura exclusive.
If I can get out of the office at a decent time, I'll be down there. I will let you know how she runs post-reflash.

12.20 @ 115.83
Well, I managed to get down there. It was very crowded. Got my first run in and managed to accidently hit the button behind the wheel as I was lining the car up, putting it into manual mode. Got a nice launch and then it all went to hell. I can confirm that the car will not automatically upshift in manual mode. 
Waited nearly 2 hours for my second (and last) run. Not wanting to blow this run, I eased it out of the hole and still managed a 1.91 60 foot time. She ran a 12.20 @ 115.83. Since it was about 75 degrees and humid when I ran, I would say the reflash has not really affected the car at all.

So do I. It was 58 degrees yesterday morning at 8:00 a.m. Man, if I could have just had one run before 10:00 a.m.
