Track Times

So it's been a over a year since I have been to the track, which was actually at the last C5F in Arizona. I ran pretty consistent around 13 flat.

I am going to a local track tonight and figured the DA was about 7800 ft, since pheonix the I have only added a CAI, trailing arms and catback exhaust.

Do you guys think I will still be able to see 13's tonight or should I not set my expectations that high?

That's what I was thinking!!! Ran last Thursday at Milan with DA of almost 3900... was off a full 1/2 second!

To OP... have you check out Drag Times DA Calculator? I use it to help me compare my times from one track visit to the next to see if I'm running where I should be despite the weather!

DA will kill ya. I was up in Albuquerque a couple months ago and the DA was over 9,000.... My runs were over a second slower than when I ran Houston.

Try and keep your head up.. It's really tough at altitude.
