Re: Pomona fastest ive seen
Sonoma is going to be the closest place you will see or could see "great air" especially in stock in the early AM runs. With Phoenix being moved to October you can forget about any "great air" days for sure. Be lucky if its not 100 degrees for that race.
I have lived the last four years in the DC area. Those guys see "great air" frequently. The barometer is at or near 30 more often than not from what I saw. We run a heads up car back east and have seen some spectacular air in the early fall and some really wet ugly air in the summer. But even with water grains approaching 135 we have run just as fast back there as out here, the reason they usually have a definite edge in the barometer. |

Or Woodburn..JS.. A late season Nat Open at Sonoma would equate to 30.3 and underground DA.

As for Barry's comment about Sonoma, since it's only a national open and the D7 entry fee is the same as a divisional w/o points or contingency money being offered as well as a grade point and prize purse, I won't go to them. If D7 were like D5 with lower fees for national opens (especially since points are not part of the equation), then I'd go to one especially here in Az., so I could raise my grade level from 5 to 6. I'm thankful I moved here to Phoenix, so I can run five points races without having to travel more than 330 miles one way.

Re: Pomona fastest I've seen
Gary-- a couple things, first, it's been nice meeting and getting to know you and watching what you do.Second, it's good to see you establishing a performance goal for yourself by trying hard to get that rather elusive 14 second pass. It almost happened!Probably going to Woodburn around May or early June would be your best bet, but no Div.6 races are scheduled for that time slot. It would have to be a trip just for the accomplishment of that feat. Mission would possibly be a better trip for you to do that, that track is very low, and very cool most of the time. The first actual 9 second pass in a 9 inch tire stocker occurred there,for historical interest, and if you went to the Div.6 points race, there would be another grade point. Not sure exactly when that one is, will check the schedule later. It's good that you strategically positioned yourself to live in an area where you could bag 5 grade points, but it has always been that a National Open provided us a grade point. If they changed that, a whole lot of racers wouldn't go.I'm planning on Fontana in March for the Open, then in May for the divisional, then whatever the rest of the season provides. I got reamed on taxes gain this year, that cuts into a lot of more worthwhile things, that's for sure. Hope to see you soon at Fontana, and I wish you well.

Gary... To clarify, there is not a late season N.O. at Sonoma and I get your point. It’s on my wish list! My point was as Al posted; late season killer DA and Baro! Records would be shattered...
