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.

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

That's why I posted this on page one.But I guess because I never went 1.40 under before my comments dont count.Nice run either way.
Let's see what happens the next time someone who is not as well known and or respected as the Grossi's bombs a combination.Wonder if the accolades will flow as freely?

Dave,

Maybe they thought Norwalk was a factored track!! Damn, I thought I was up on all this crap! I guess I'll have to ask when I tech in at Phoenix!!

We should all go to Boise in April and let'em rip!!

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.
