Understatement of the year, you would have run 10s last night if you had a decent cooling setup!

Lol you really think closer to ambient temps would have made a big difference? for example-15-20 over ambient compared to 45-50 that I started my runs at

Bro, I would think so. You were starting your runs with your iats at 85-90. That wasn't even taking adavntage of the killer DA you had last night. I would think that would have to make a big difference.

Gonna have??? To me it's as clear as could be, I have very stiff competition and you east side boys are all up in it. All I care about is that Jeremy is making power all over the country with our platform. I hope all you guys break into the 10's and squash my time, I need the motivation.

Any idea of what the DA was last night? If it stays cold get your car back out there and nail a low 1.6 and bring home that 10 second slip.

I was just looking at Atco on dragtimes and went as low as -2000, of course depending on when you ran. How does it feel to race in 35 degree weather? I was whimpering about racing in 55 degree weather last year.... I wouldn't last in that cold fricken weather, no way.

It would be nice to have a chance to race in some low DA but anything close to zero is fine by me.

Our problem with that type of weather and being so close to sea level our track tends to gain some moisture now if it was 35 degrees and the sun is out then its a different story

Yes DA was up there and racing in that kind of weather is nuts specially when the breakdowns star rolling in, bikes and cars rolling down the track spilling all kinds of crap and you just have to sit there waiting in that brutal weather with numbing fingers makes you have to sit in your car, run the heat and warm up a bit! not a lot of fun! but our cars seem to like it.
