with the plannned weight reduction for that day, I'm thinking that my C5 will weigh in around 2990-3000lb with me in it 8-)
My ride just got about 50lbs lighter.

If Wunderground estimates for Friday at accurate, here is how the DA is breaking down.

@7AM: -2450 DA
@10AM: -1896 DA
@1PM: -1685 DA
@4PM: -1896 DA

That could very well be. After this rain passes, there is more high pressure behind it. The baro is sitting at 30.24 right now, which is great considering it's raining. Maybe we'll luck out and get that nitrous-like DA

p.s can we start racing at 7am? :lol:

I know I will :lol:

Don't think we can run at 7AM and you may not want to if there is any moisture on the track from the morning dew. As of right now, looks like we will get some good DA the entire day which should make this much better than last years Race Wars.

Yeah I'm hoping that high sticks around for a bit. Wonderground seems to be saying that but I think it will slowly be moving out Friday. I'm only saying this in hopes of being completely wrong :mrgreen::mrgreen:

I was behind him on one pass, his car got like 90* sideways in the burnout box. Thought he was gonna take out Jaime lol.

Car looks really nice and definately rolls out!

I can explain.My first 2 runs of the day I had issues with my line lock. Only 1 wheel was locking up and it made the car kick sideways during the burnout. The rest of the day I didn't use my line lock at all and I was fine.
