Density Altitude at MIR today was negative-2000 or better.

Full sun. Negligible wind.

Air Temp high about 40.

Barometer 30.62-30.69. That's the highest I've ever seen recorded in Maryland.

Dew point 4 to 9 degrees. That's among the lowest I've ever seen recorded in Maryland.

So this was the lowest DA I've ever calculated for MIR when air and surface temps were race-worthy.

Too bad no one mustered a rental. Historic weather.

You just had to rub it in didnt ya!.....it was killing Fartpipe and myself not to be there. This work thing that pays for all the fun just got in the way for both of us!

When will you be back up this way again so we can set some more records?

I'll be back up in the fall, Kyle. Shooting for three rentals with the usual cast of characters. Looking forward to it, as always.

Haven't decided on the next car. Not in a hurry. Still have to find the lower ET-limit of my '06 Z06.

I've put you on the list for event notification, Fartpipe. :thumbs

As for that negative-2000+ DA, luck favors those who follow the weather during the race-worthy months.
