New best last night.:)

Been waiting all week for lower temps to try for a new best. The temp was pretty good at 65* but unfortunately there was a 15-20mph headwind all night which probably cost me a half tenth and 4-5 mph. The track was hooking good enough to net me a 1.47 60' which is a big improvement. The new JDM cams have really helped down low. Here's the slip, I'm in the right lane.

Very impressive DealerJim. What's even more impressive is that sixty-foot I never thought cooler weather would ever find its way to Texas but this morning I woke up to a brisk 60 degree breeze. Congratulations on your pass

Congrats Jimmy.

I looked the historical data up on Intellicast when I got home. I punched the numbers in and this is what I came up with even at 64 degree temps.

The Density Altitude was 815 Ft.
Wind North 15 mph. (direct headwind).

That headwind had to be worth a tenth or two on these flying bricks.

Thanks guys. The guy in the other lane was a Trans Am with heads, cam, headers and a 200 shot. That guy was fast.
