8.997 in GT/AA ?
 

I was just watching the live timing at lvms and it said frank ran 8.997@144.8 in the first session.On the sceond run it showed 9.18@139.If it is true,I hope he was going for the record.

Re: 8.997 in GT/AA ?
 

If that's what the actual ET and MPH were then it corrects to an 8.844 @ 147.19. Way fast.

Correct me if I'm wrong but considering that 8.997 is -1.403 under the sea level index doesn't that mean that combo gets a hit on Monday?

I believe that alt.factored tracks are still sacred cows.Anything goes.No penalty.I'd like to see what those
supercharged Mustangs would do up there.8.50 chassis certification anybody?LOL

the time corrects to 8.78 at 148.49 think that will be the record until it is retired in two years. Great run!!

Another testament to those "spot on" altitude correction factors.

You're right Colin. I used the wrong factor. I thought .9830 sounded strange.

Still really fast. Congrats to Frank, Phil, & co.

1320go.com has the altitude at 1,000 and barometer at 30.42 on the first session. These cars are getting "factored" close to .25 in most cases. Thats fair.

Yes

Re: 8.997 in GT/AA ?
 

For those who balk at the altitude correction factors according to one of the posts they were in 1000’ of air and 30.42 barometer.
The track altitude is 2100 feet.
So you can kind of think of it as going to Montgomery and having -1000 foot air.
Its mineshaft air for an altitude track not an out of whack correction factor.
