Yeah, elevation + that DA = crappy times.

Your MPH still seems slow but your time is about right. I was going to say you would be about 12.6-12.7 but that is off the back of the hand.

What RPM were you shifting?

God willing that my kidney stones are not still acting up Sunday I will be hitting the track as well.

You could certainly win. At the dragstrip a couple of weeks ago these two dragsters did not get grip, went a bit sideways and then completely decelerated, you could have beat either with a Pinto. So it all depends on the traction ...

If your Vette wins, well it should have won because it was a Vette.

If you loose, you will never hear the end of it.... How his Mustang beat your Vette.

Whatever you do, be safe. Best to do this kind of stuff at a track.
This is why I don't bother with mustangs. If you win, no one will care. If you lose, you'll be ridiculed for a long time. Should be a close race.

EDIT: just read that you won. Congrats!
