assuming what we know about the car is true, keep in mind his elevation was essentially 900 feet BELOW sea level. with the temp and atmosphere in the conditions it was in, it was a PERFECT day to bang out some very fast times. keep in mind, conditions like that will have very little effect on the actual launch, but they WILL have an effect on the entire rest of the run.

correct his time to sea level and it's a 13.85, which makes perfect sense with a 2.1 60' time.

i think the cold weather it takes to get such a day (it was 41-43 degrees on the day he ran his 13.6) 2.0 60' times are a tall order for stock tires.

Especially wasted stock tires... I'm going back tomorrow (3/25/06) I'll post my results to see if it was just a special day last time

Remember to take your video camera with you for the non-believers. Good luck!

all of the timeslips get posted in my original post, so dont worry about them being missed. when people add them, i save them, and then re-post them in the very first post.
