Default Re: Midwest Private Drag Day - May 17th

That's great winter weather for me. My race last night was 86 degrees at 10pm! I ran a 12.90 at 88mph, it was bracket racing and I let off and still broke out. I was alot hotter earlier and I couldn't break a 12. Believe me when I say 6 degrees makes a huge difference. I ran 2 qualifying sessions each about 45 mins apart. With a first round loss that was only 3 runs in a 3 hour period. I think people here are confusing the HE for performance parts. The pump or HE isn't going to give you a quicker et. Now on a road course where your driving for more than 3 minutes at a time, is a different story. Even as hot as my conditions are, a HE isn't going to improve my times unless eliiminations is back to back like Pinks. Fortunately that's only hollywood. Real ET races have so many cars in 4 brackets or more, that your lucky to get back in the lanes in 45 min or less. I think under the perfect conditions and the best track prep available that this track elevation can give up an 11 sec run. So more of you have to go next time and pay for the VHT to be sprayed throughout the day. Glad everyone made it safely home and had a great time. For you new guys welcome to the 1/4 mile club.
