Pomona fastest ive seen

[A/SA Fairlane]

Color me shocked . It will be all good for the trained professionals tomorrow I bet

Run as fast as you can while you can because the "ones" in congress said we won't have gas powered cars in ten years.
Maybe we'll have slot cars like we had in the sixtys... A groove down the middle of the track with these copper brushes hanging off the bottom of the car with 4-500 hp electric motors! Any plastic body you want! Wouldn't that be cool?
Mike, I have seen the future

If that first round could've been run Friday morning instead of Thursday evening, I'd have had a second chance at it. Now, I'll just have to wait until either next year, or we'll see what Phoenix in October (or somewhere else budget willing), might do? I know one thing, the E3's are out and on their way to a landfill while the Rapid Fire's are back in, because I ran 15.014 and a 15.02 in worse air 3yrs ago with them! I'm also jealous of those lucky rnd one winners who had rt.'s that were around my .068. I unfortunately had a 1st rnd opponent who was .008, and dialed his car better than I did! That's racing....

With the type of engine you run your not going to get stellar results in a 28.90 baro, I don't care what the DA says, I do care what the baro says, and a 30.0 plus baro says NA performance. So load up and go to the 30 plus baro and get that 14 sec pass. You would be surprised how many people don't understand Pomona sits at 1000 feet elevation, although it is a down hill track.

X2,On the west coast take a trip up to scenic BC (Mission).Or go to the east coast.You need a high baro to go fast,but nowadays with the current index's the AHFS is a stumbling block. gsa612

I appreciate what you're saying, and the 30.0 plus baro would probably get me to .7 under my index, or better. However, I was at this track 3yrs ago, and I made two passes in air that was supposed to be worse than Thursday's was, and I came within .21, and .15 seconds of that to date elusive 14sec et. I know it can be done at Pomona, and probably would've been done in the first session if I had my car set up for that run the way I did for the second. My first pass was a 15.12 with a 2.10 60ft. However, my 60ft improved to a 1.95 in the second session, which is why I feel that elusive run would've been had if I had my car set up right. Live and learn, and next time....

I've been curious what tracks in D3 or D1 are best for quick et's against the indexes? I often look at the D3 & D1 videos that "Robzneed4spd", and others cover out there and wonder what my car would run there? God willing, my budget will get good enough to head out that way to race with you guys in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New England. I was feeling good about Indy, but after what Richie Pauley said about how his car didn't run as quick there as he thought it would, I'm not so sure about Indy until I am able to upgrade my operation and car to be .9 or more under my index. I'd love to race in a 30.0 baro track, but we've had some 29.+ days out here too. You called it though with the altitude of Pomona, so I'd also like to go up northwest to say Woodburn, or Seattle to see what they're like, or possibly Sonoma?

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.
