I ran Friday night at the track. The DA was about 6200 ft which is pretty good for us. I ran 10.72@132.41 which corrects with our track correction number of (4400ft) to 10.13@140.05. That was with a 150 shot of nos. Up here if you want to go fast you need a power adder.

In really bad air (DA 7900ft) I ran 11.76@119, and I made a run with the nos not working in good air(DA6000ft) it ran 11.58@120, which would correct to 10.95@127. The worst part is our track correction number is for 4400ft... which we never see. Up here, I usually run on the bottle.

Nice job! If you're up here in Denver at 5800' (Bandimere Speedway) you need a power adder!
