No kidding on the debut Mike. Oh well, rather have it out now than wait any longer. Just took a bit getting the motor exactly as Rick Watters wanted it. Headed that way now!

Been here since 8:30 am. We have a heck of a head wind and a little warm. At least the wind is blowing just from the wrong direction! Looking forward to seeing everyone! Be safe on the trip here.

Really ? didn't you score a points race win
there after a very long day that finished
in the wee hours of the morning the year you
won div. 5 stock title ??
Agreed not an easy place to race. staging lanes
in that weird hole where it is very hard to tell what
the wind is doing. Up hill then into the wind
tunnel under the tower that does not help any.....

I agree with Ed....but fact of the matter is that everyone races under the same conditions. It is slow, but it is slow for everyone.

4800' DA this afternoon, bad head wind, and 28.60 Baro. My rings are still coming around, only run time on them was putting it in the trailer. Picked up each pass, but only went .76 under. I have zero data in these conditions with this strong of a head wind. Nobody I can compare to tested today, so I don't know if I found what slowed it down, or not. Tomorrow the cars I can compare to will run, then I will have a better idea. I think if anybody ran a second under today, they are in good shape. :-)

4800'.....big head wind....your aero Pontiac....70 something under... Ed, I think you will be just fine.
