Nice #'s Jon

There's nothing like racing your car the first time. The adrenaline is pumping so hard you can't keep your hands still on the steering wheel! It's the best! Congrats to all of you first timers!!

holy shit! i just corrected that time in dragtimes.com's time correction software...

Correct your ET and MPH using the DA

Density Altitude: 2491

1/4 mile ET: 12.900
seconds

1/4 mile trap speed: 108.89
MPH

Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
12.521 @ 112.263 MPH

you guys can correct your times here---> http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-altitude-calculator.php

I always wondered about corrected times. Out here in AZ, our times are notoriously bad because of the elevation. So when I list a time...should it be the actual one or the corrected one?

eh. i dunno. in the fall our times here are about equal with their corrected times. the summer on humid days.. not so much.

i would like to think a 87mm ported tb and sticky race tires dropped me 3 tenths since last time... but who knows how much stock you can put in corrected times. im just gonna list both in my sig.

Wow thats cool! How do you know all of this?

My "corrected time" is 14.077 @ 99.68 MPH

I wish I knew about the calculator when I ran. I can't remember the temp and humidity way back then! All I can find out is the elevation. Guess I'll have to wait till the fall to see what my time will be. *sigh*

usually i don't even check my corrected times. but i was trying to figure out where i lost over 4mph in trap speed from last time out with more mods. it didn't make sense. apparently it was all in the density altitude. the corrected time puts my trap mph back where it usually is...

Hmm pretty cool
