Based on your mods, I'm sure you'll get there. It took some negative DA for me to get that time. Unfortunately, the heat and humidity are returning to Florida.

I went to the track twice last week. On Wednesday I was running 12.3's (DA around 1000' or a little less). Friday I ran 12.4's (DA around 1500'). The track prep was great both nights and I was launching just like I did when I ran the 12.1's. I may have to invest in a weather tracker so I can get an idea of what times to expect at the track (based on DA) and also so I don't have to rely on the DA calculator on dragtimes.

Come to think of it, I should get motivated and enter all my slips into a spreadsheet and graph my times versus DA. Might show some interesting info!
I know how you feel! My 12.2 runs were at a DA of 1200'. Can't us Code 3 guys catch a negative DA break? I think I have a better chance of catching some better DA's here in Texas, we still have decent weather, they just keep closing the track due to high wind!!!!
