Some years ago I had bought a Casio digital barometer/altitude watch from a guy at an N.H.R.A. divisional race at Quaker city Ohio. Started using it right away to set car up to run 10.90 throttle stop for
Super Street. We were running four tenths pro start tree at the time, made most eight car shootouts and
mostly could hit 10.90 and change at least three out of four qualifing runs. Mine read in feet not meters.
The battery went low and I changed to new battery but screwed up the watch,couldnt fixit, Grrr.
We now run Altilab digital station with remote pager etc.

Vic,
I think you got a perfect Christmas present! What a great way to check the weather changes in the staging lanes without your opponents knowing what you are up to.
