The DA is @ 1600 plus but with a headwind and no barometer any go fast ideas are in the dumper ............

Is this a way to avoid triggering the AHFS.

The Barometer is much lower than average for this track at this time of year, the traction has been ok, not great, but i believe it is just that we need more track temp, they have done a great job grooming it. The hemi shootout ran 1st rd and there were a few redlights(Daniels for one) and some shut off runs, no real good side by side runs. both sr and jr are still in, sr had the bye. The cross wind is strong enough that they are running top and comp 1/8th mile. They also ran the muscle car shootout, 6 cars and there were some 9.30's

generally it is 50/50 sun and clouds, nice fall windy day

TV always uses corrected to Sea Level not Station Pressure whitch is actual for you are at if your Baro was set correct. When you call NOOA you should always ask for actual station pressure not corrected to sea level!

I have always wondered why they do that. It's a useless number.
