Looks like that combo is now a natural A car if I am reading it right 8.02 weight break. Did not notice that Les went -1.360 under that fast in his first round bye run was only paying attention to my own runs.

That will make more happy than unhappy.

REALLY; just how big are they, how far off the ground are the sensors at the finish line, and last but not least how many other racers had this problem!!!!!

MikeMoller · 05-06-2011, 07:51 PM

Thanks Toby, I am still a little out of the loop on this stuff after a
40 yrs absence. I had runs averaging .945 under at Charlotte, so I guess that would trigger a review if nothing changed and there were no other comparison runs with similar engine/platform-body combo. But since the average isn't greater than the first range (1.000-1.099) I don't guess I would get adjusted?
