Default New personal best....

Wednesday night
Stop and go traffic on Wadsworth Blvd.
Then went 70MPH on the highway. Pulled in to Bandimere, tech'd, and got in line.

Hotlapping.

12.049 at 117.63
11.929 at 117.81


Slip...
.045 (R/T)
1.699 (60' bit of a bog, not bad though)
5.014 (330')
7.700 at 92.01 (1/8)
10.004 (1000')
11.929 at 117.81 (1/4)

I got 6 runs in last night. 5 on camera. The 11 second pass is the one that got missed.

Um......you sure about that? You're not going to gain a second and a half and 14mph going to sea level. That would be like roughly gaining about 150-175 horsepower. It MAY be possible on a boosted car but not an N/A car. I know that rocky mountain air sucks for racing but that's a little extreme. I used a calculator from LS1tech and it put you at 10.71 at 124.3mph.

How far away from you is a lower elevation track? I would make a road trip for sure.

Yes I am sure about that. When the DA is 8000....a 0 DA would be 130 or more RWHP.

I don't claim those times, so it doesn't really matter.
I use accuweather and modulardepot's DA calc.

Boosted cars actually loose LESS power at altitude. N/A looses the most, blower cars are mid, and turbo cars loose very little.

congrats.....and YES......high altitudes are killer for times. My friend was pissed that his 2000 SS only ran low 14's in Montana, he got stationed here in eastern NC and it ran a 13.0 first time at sea level.

Heading back down tomorrow.

Hoping for 11.75...but will be more than happy with an 11.8xx.
