Re: Which weather data to monitor?
I just started to use the Kestrel 4250, so I'm not quite up to speed yet, but the idea is to collect as much data as possible ( temperature, humidity, altitude density and so forth) to establish a pattern of how your car reacts to changes in the weather and it's effect on performance. Once that information is obtained, you can track changes. Kestrel also offers a data logger to connect the 4250 to a computer to build the Excel spreadsheet that Alan mentioned, too!
Now to find a good ET prediction software package!! Lew

Re: Which weather data to monitor?
There are a few books and articles you can read to learn more. I think the Dragster had a couple of David Reher articles, somewhere there is some stuff written by Jere Stahl. You've got a great weather station, I'll be getting one of them soon.
