just some OEM/factory Corvette wheels with some OEM/factory GTO spares readily available to anyone, nothing too spectacular or costly there. You also used drag radials as well.And the DA at Atco last Saturday hovered between -1300 and -1500 during racing hours according to Ellis's ('YO-EL') $700.00+ properly operated handheld weather station.
Atco Raceway DOES NOT have a weather station on the premises so I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA where any of these online sites are getting their obviously inaccurate information.

Odd-some folks told me you had very lighweight magnesium rear wheels used on your runs. According to my propriety and paid weather online site, there is a station less than 5 miles away from the Atco Drag Strip. It substantiates what the Drag Times Da calculator says was for the DA of your run.

so I make it work well. 
I looked on one site the other day and it showed a disparity in barometer between Atco and a town only 5-10 miles away of over .20 (30.20 at Atco versus 30.42 at Hammonton) at the exact same moment.
5 miles away IS NOT where I made my passes, I made them at the 1/4 mile drag strip located at 1000 Jackson Road Atco, NJ 08004.

I know where your drag strip is, and there is nothing to be ashamed of doing your runs at -2,200 DA. Somewhat embarrassing compared to +1250' to be sure, but hey! Come out of the closet! 
That weather station 4.67 miles away uses far more senstive instruments costing in the thousands over the $100-$700 handheld play toys we use.

If the site matches your handheld like you say why shouldn't it match others? I saw the handhelds at Atco that day. Definitely nowhere near -2200.
