Patsy, I suggest the Kestrel 4500 unit that the Spec Ops guys use, it is very accurate, it does everything you need for weather, and it even logs the readings. That's one of my next purchases, as the Tag unit is getting old, and they're out of business. We don't use an ET prediction program, Kevin does that in his head (scary, isn't it?). However, Larry Meaux http://maxracesoftware.com/ has a nice ET program in beta, he's a racer, and real good to work with.

I second the kestrel unit. It's so simple, my technology challenged dad has no problems with it whatsoever.

Hopefully, your dad can get out soon and do some racing. He's past due, and he's more than earned some fun time.

I'm pretty sure it's a 96 LT1 Corvette owned by John Meaney (I think he owns it), the same one Tommy Mattingly drove some last year.

Thanks Andrew,

That sounds right I was unsure if John still owned the car because I haven't seen it out in a while.

DA was 1100 feet, AA was 711 feet. Vapor Pressure was .395 and grains were 52. Baro was 29.67.

All from the Altalab trailer station.

Outstanding air, very fast, track was excellent.

Here is a picture of Tim Weinzapful (killer R Stick 283 wagon!) and his beautiful wife.
My Drag Dogs Shooey and Roxy climbed onto every Golf Cart they saw last weekend! I think they are trying to tell me something.



I had an early exit. The car tried to save me and ran right on, but I was late so tnat didn't happen!
My crew chief and I changed to a different clutch and went to Cordova Dragway to test.
