Real Fast Air

Jeff Teuton · 12-12-2012, 11:37 PM

Down here tonight it is 39 degrees, 30.29 and rising barometer, 42% Humidity, 28 Dew Point. How fast could you go. I think there is also a 10 mph tailwind at No Problem just to help a little. I bet I could run under the index.

I'll take a wild guess.................SS/AH Index ??

Merry Christmas Buddy!!

Just hang on, Jeff.

My calculations say .972 correction factor
and -1770 ft altitude.

FJ

-1770 I could probably run pretty fast, maybe get into the 10's. I bet Greg Hills old E/SA could run 9.90, therefore he needs hp. That big old 780 double pumper likes this sort of conditions. Years ago (maybe 10), I think the air at No Problem was -1200 when Fred Henson went 9.89. (in an old car) in A/SA.

that was about 6 years ago. February divisional. Shaun Leblanc went 8.97 in GT/A then too

Jeff, I couldn't run that fast on the downhill side of the Sunshine bridge.

VP or VHT?

That is Awsome air. SS/F 3230lb 8.90@149 wonder how much HP that would get me.Would be nice for the CIC race.

My Duster bracket car on a *great* run at Norwalk would go 11.50's, 11.80's at Quaker City in the middle of the summer. One year at the $10K Footbrake at Maple Grove, we scraped ice off the windshield... -1700' below... 11.28!

Similarly, in the eighth mile, it's typically a 7.30-7.40 car. A couple years ago in the fall, I put the radials on it at Roxboro and went 7.16... made a couple of adjustments and belted out a 7.09. (Even when bracket racing, there's still a little bit of Class racer in us!) My dad about fell out of his chair when I told him! LOL
