I have had runs with the same car at the same track with a variaton in DA of 2,000 feet and still been within a tenth and 1.5 mph. I think people place too much reliance on DA. Been beaten to death here.

It can be very tricky to hookup in this cold weather. I've had my E55 slide towards the wall past 70mph at Atco in 30 degree weather on a 11.4pass.




yeah i ran 12.1@115 stock on 19" wheels with a 1.9 60'



i have a vbox and i ran it at atco. the 1/4 et is usually .1 slower on the vbox then the timeslip.

Ok when you run a stroked 402 Trailblazer that ran 12.68 at Joliet and you lose dont ask why. Its a means to make the table even for all parties involved using a exact science. DA is a huge part of drag racing or sports in general. DYNO #s are as you put so intelligently for "Internet Dorks". I have seen cars make 800hp on a dyno and lose to a 500Hp car on the street. Its about what you can put down at the strip, not on the computer graph as that can be adjusted to say just about anything, since it is really just code translated.
