I had a decent time. I camped out under a tree for most of the day and walked up to the fence when the Renegade cars ran. It was also Pontiac day so there were A LOT of GTO's.

That's why I parked under the tree!! I had the black B and it was still toasty sitting in the shade.

Hopefully it cools off for the October Races because my wife and Mother in Law want to go.

Free admission?

I paid ten bucks to get in. Did they quit charging because when I left at 1:30 the ladies were still in the booth.

Nope, I have the stickers on the car also. I guess my long hair caused her not to ask. LOL

Gonna pass on this weekend. I want to just kick around the apt.

I plan on bringing my wife and Mother in Law to the drags on the 5th of October if you want to hook up.

VP I am guessing 8.4-.5 for you... What was that guy talking about times compared to sea level? The elevation at barona? I wish Q was prepped like barona. My car likes Q better than the altitude at barona 8.4 spinning badly The quickest I ran when everyone was out there was a 8.5 That is not bad on street tires though. I am curious how the hoosiers will make my car hook they are 30 series instead of 40 so look kinda funny on back but o-well if they hook

Barona's density altitude (DA) which is a combination elevation, temp, dewpoint and humidity is usually about 4500'. At 4500' if your car ran 8.5 at Barona, that would about 8.0 at sea level. Here is a link to various calculators.

And here is one how to calculate DA

That is a cool link but is a little off for 1/8th to 1/4 conversions
I ran a 8.3 1/8th mile time off of a 12.7 1/4 mile ( slip in hand)
It says that a 8.3 at 89mph is equal to a 13.1 in 1/4

Still cool link for getting figures
