Not to be a party pooper but wasn't there some good cold air this weekend with some tail winds, that surely will help with the times and ET I'm sure people don't want to be mislead if all the facts are not present.

Actually the winds were swirling. As far as the temp, do the times not count because it cooled off. Most people ran the same times they have ran all year. I saw him make several runs between 10.988 and 11.01. Those are the facts. Just to let you know. Take your negative attitude somewhere else it's not needed here.

Has nothing to do with negative attitude but just trying to confirm that its not all smoke and mirrors that's all. Just don't want anyone mislead, I know for a fact when it cools down my sled picks up quite a bit and mph picks up with a tailwind and slows into it so there's no need to get offended.
 
is mph through the traps not the true indication of hp ?
 
Hey that suit would make for cool YouTube vid's this winter;)!

Way to go on the 10s bracket. Been sneaking up on it all summer. Happy to see all your hard work pay off.LaLaLa
 
Send me your clutch set up and we will see if we can get this beast into the 9:50s

The flags on the bridge by the starting line were facing the burnout box, so there was a headwind. Problem with WIR is it's down in a hole surrounded by very tall trees. When there is more than 1 inch of rain per hour, the pits will be under 2 feet of water where my pit spot is. The only opening is the end of the track and when it's windy from the south, everything funnels down from the end of the track. Even a north wind will swirl back around like Shagman mentioned....so no tail wind. **If you watch the video, the trees aren't moving and no burnout smoke so wind was directly at us. WIR track runs NE to SW. I keep track of what other people are running so when their class goes up to race I can see if they are running faster/quicker or not. Like Shag said, everyone was running close to their times as last few weeks, maybe .03 was what I was seeing as a difference in most cases.

As for the cool temps, they were the same temperature because most races are later in the evening that can get to 60's and Saturday was a start early day because of the race party and temps were in the low 60's, just that people were wearing sweatshirts.

Now, Da Grove racetrack is wide open between corn fields and runs S to N. If I were at Da Grove and ran a crazy fast number I would be honest and tell everyone if a tail wind helped me. But, I have tried and tried again to see a 10 second run out of a non-boosted Viper and even with my clutching only revving 9,200....the EVO flash, the EVO Header/muffler, the airbox mod and Thunder Products clutching is what got me there....but it just so happened that the EVO flash was the latest mod that I put on my sled. According to the dyno numbers I would have to say i'm right on saying the flash does work and had zero start issues, no kick-backs and the sled sounds so mean.

****** Copied from the track forum the last time there was bad weather******
(WFRV) KAUKAUNA (AP) - Severe weather in the Fox Cities has made a mess of Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna.

The Fox River Racing Club says Thursday night's WAPL/Budwesier Triple crown race is cancelled and Saturday's Red, White and Blue series race may have to be postponed as well.

Club Secretary Clint Smith says heavy rains caused a creek to overflow and part of the dragstrip washed away.

A section of the pits is under two feet of water, fences were knocked over and gravel under the grandstands washed onto the half-mile race track. Electricity and phone service was also knocked out.

More thunderstorms with potentially heavy downpours are expected today.

Terry the dinosaur great work -sorry you have to defend yourself, those who know you don't need it. Good job I still think it was the tail causing the wind to less turbulently come together causing less drag and better times........my 2 cents LOL
