Default Roll Call for Sat Aug First..

Who is going tomorrow (E Town) I'm entering the Index Madness...

Last time out my car started out running 12.60 (Shallow Staged) as it got warmer, & Ralph went in deeper than me.. it slowed to 12.80

Tomorrow is supposed to be HOT and if I stage DEEP I'll loose another .10-.13 I should be in the 12.90 range by 2pm

Looking like I'll be a 13.00 Index if its HOT... No way I can make 12.5 and DEEP Stage also..

Good luck to whoever is going ...

The air should be a little better than last time, barometer isn't too bad, humidity has dropped etc so I'm guessing that you might run slightly quicker than that...maybe 12.5s shallow in the morning and 12.8s in the afternoon deep?
