New Personal Best...technically

Pulled my 2nd best time at the 1/8 mile but accounting for D/A this was actually my best time. I even had a passenger. My previous best was
8.69 with a D/A of 2400' my corrected time was 8.45. Here is todays time:
60' 1.81
1/8 8.737
MPH 78.54
My corrected time was 8.404 at 81.618
Here is a link to the D/A calculator. Note that even though it says 1/4 mile the 1/8 corrections will be the same:

DA corrections are lame. It ran what it says on the timeslip, not what a calculator thinks it coulda, shoulda, woulda. But, it's nice to see that your car is improving none-the-less.

You go to Barona right? You should try Irwindale if you ever get a chance. Near perfect conditions, and well prepped track most of the times.

My friend from San Diego loves it at Irwindale, though its quite the drive for you guys.

The only problem is that's on a Thursday and I have to wake up at 4:30 A:M on Fridays.

D/A is kind of a touchy subject. There is no denying that D/A does affect performance.

No doubt it affects performance. But, use it to know what to expect your car to run in tough weather, don't use it to brag about what your car might be capable of in ideal conditions.
