I know that some of you might want to see these, if you want to know why mytimes are way higher than what you guys are running at sea level, find the post that I made in the street strip section or the 5.0 section about my timeslips.It should be within the first couple of pages. In short, the density altitude was 15,230 feet , most of you know what that much altitude will do to your power and your 1/4 mile times. Anyways, it was a bracket competition and I was racing with Colorado Stangs at Bandimere Speedwayfor Club Clash friday night and made it to the third elimination round. I had the best reaction time and was one of the most consistent racers that night out ofour club, I was quite pleased .

1st race, .085 reaction time, 1st round of eliminations

We only got two practice runs, but here's one of them.I was still trying to figure out what rpm to launch at and my ETwas lacking slightly because of it. But I did lay the smack down on a blazer or whatever the hell that is at the end of thevideo

Enjoy!

 

Man, being at that altitude sucks. How do you breathe at 15,000+ feet?

 

The actual altitude is 5,800+ ft, but the air sucked horribly that night and the D/A was the real killer. I'm hoping to move to somewhere near sea level after college.
