Throttle Stop ?

[BKSG1198]

The wind does effect a car like ours. It's a 64 Nova Wagon, it's like a brick going down the track so when you have a tailwind it pushes it down the track and a headwind it's like trying to fit a block down a narrow hallway. To take an example this past weekend at the Dutch on Thursday we made 3 runs. On the first 2 runs everything was exactly the same except for the numbers in the stop. Went a 9.875 & 9.910, we left the numbers the same for the 3rd shot but, we got a tailwind for the 3rd shot. The car picked up 1 mph in the 1/8 mile (Right past where the grandstands end at Maple Grove) and it picked up 2 mph because the wind was basically pushing a coasting car. The car went 9.852 all because of the wind. Wind factors into a lot of things even if you have a 110mph or 170mph car. Thats why the weather stations become so critical.

Glad we could give you some info
