8.997 in GT/AA ? - Page 2

That car will run 1.40 under at sea level, it's only a matter of time before it gets hit.

Come on guys.... everybody knows that a 30.42 barometer at 2100' is a CORRECTED BAROMETER and not the actual barometric pressure.

A corrected barometer cannot be used to determine density altitude.

If the score board showed an 8.99 in GTAA then he should be signed up for 3.25% come monday because that is 1.40 under the sealevel index, just because there at an alt. factored track doesn't mean they can go more than 1.40 under the sealevel index. Also for all that wine about factored tracks come on out and try it some time, because if you haven't then you have no room to Bitch.

I can't believe some of you guys still squawk about the factoring. Notice that Colin didn't, he was at Vegas last fall running against these guys and holding his own. He saw how fast Grossi went then and got to experience the conditions and factoring for himself. Perhaps that's why he thinks it's an awesome run.

An 8.99 is an awesome pass for any GT/AA regardless of altitude. Deserves the power hit too.

Congtats to Frank and crew on a very deserving accomplishment.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!! what a run for sure, i dont care about the alt factored what it comes out. But 8.99 at Vegas is something else.

Great job to Frank and the Phil Mandella crew.

Is the record worth the additional 11-HP this engine received on Tuesday from NHRA?

Tony Janes · 02-04-2009, 11:49 AM

To Frank yes.
