It's not like if you have great air you are going to correct for the good DA and post a SLOWER time, lol. So people just end up choosing the faster of the two. That's crap.



Yeep.
From what I've read, it's not an exact science, either. Just like the dyno correction factors...the will get you close to an answer, but they can't take everything into account. I like the idea of using a DA calc to give me a ballpark of what I would've/could've run in better air, but there's nothing like having that timeslip with the actual numbers
