I was having difficulty getting the power to the ground, but had a really good time. After I quit being nervous (first two or three runs) I started getting the hang of things, well, that and it started cooling off. It was still over 80 when I started. They use a pro tree here, on auto start, so it's a little intimidating. There is almost no time once staged. I finally ended up forgetting about getting a good e/t and just focused on my launches.

My last run was my best all night. I'm sure the temp helped, but my 60' was dramatically better that time as well...but it still needs lots of work.

My car is an M6, and I launched with traction control off, but stability control left on with tires at 22 psi.

That said:
60'.....2.091
1/8.....8.335 @ 88.87
1/4.....12.696 @ 112.77

I'll post the slip tomorrow, I'm tired. One last thought though, I wonder how much of a difference it makes being at ~2000 ft.
