Decent air
So I got this cell phone...and this DA app which tells me the DA at the airport. Which actually isn't all that far from the track.
I have been watching the numbers daily, and as I've said in the past, typical for us is 1500-2000ft. And so it is! I saw 2500 ft once. Also saw 300ft, but it was 5 in the morning....and by 9 it was right back at 1800ft.
So today, it said 800ft. Sky's clearing, baro going up!
Headed to the track.
The car liked it. Ran a string of 11.20's and nudged 122 mph. DA was 6-700 ft all evening. Track was good. Ron's tune...well we don't need to talk about that.
Air temp 67-70. There were a grand total of 10 cars making hits....so they closed 2 hours early.....and missed the best air.
Oh well.

Hey Guys,
We're here at the LS Fest in Bowling Green and I WISH we had good air!
DA got well above 3500' yesterday and today looks like more of the same. Well, at least my car is consistent,,,,,,,,consistently slow!
Holley puts on a great event here and this years is the biggest one so far. There are a bunch of very fast LS powered cars here with plenty of 8 second rides a few 7 second and six second cars too. WIsh you coould have made it Pitt.
