    barometric pressure: 30.38 Hg / 1028.4 hPa
    wind: 5-10mph from west

    the track runs northeast -> southwest

    run 1:

    tires at 37psi all around, tc on, motor was cold (2h cool down, then ran for ~3 minutes before i staged. xfer case test happened as usual @ 20mph)

    3:17pm march 3 2008

    r/t .759
    60' 2.057
    330 5.599
    1/8 8.547
    mph 83.77
    1000 11.068
    1/4 13.277
    mph 101.50

    run 2:

    tires at 37psi all around, tc on, motor was warm, @187 (kept the fan on by running the heater. xfer case test happened as usual @ 20mph)

    r/t .630
    60' 1.963

    run 3:

    rear tires at 33psi, fronts at 37, tc off, motor was warm, @187 (kept the fan on by running the heater. avoided xfer case test during run by accelerating over 20mph prior to staging)

    I gave you a link in my first post.

    You will need the track elevation and the humidity as well.

    I did a guestimate and came up with a negative 1200 DA...

    corrected, my best 13.019 @ 102.14 becomes 13.18 @ 100.86, disappointing for my setup. there was a stocker w/ cai that ran an uncorrected 13.24
