    Was a great nite for racing as the DA was pertty good. I did have a problem on the 2nd run with fuse pulled as i have had this 2 other times. It seems to go into a limp mode if the tires spin to much when i clean the water off the tires as we cant drive around the water box here. Heres my times. The humidity went from 12% to 37% from 1st to last run so there was more moisture in the air and as you no you cant burn moisture thats why i slowed up even with the DA dropping 1064ft.
    RUN 1 FUSE PULLED, WATER TEMP 180
    RACE WT 5090 LBS
    DA 1388 FT
    RT......=.501 - .500 IS PERFACT
    60'.....1.761 best ever
    330'...5.243 best ever
    1/8....8.186 best ever
    MPH...83.72
    RUN 2 FUSE PULLED WITH 2 LIMP MODES, WATER TEMP 190
    DA 888 FT
    60'.....1.942 limp mode 30' out & slowed then caught & went
    330'....5.664 limp mode at the 1-2 shift slowed then caught & went
    1/8.....8.669
    mph....82.22
    RUN 3 FUSE BACK IN & WATER TEMP WAS 192 SO IT SLOWED A BIT
    DA 324 FT
    60'.....1.768
    330'....5.260
    1/8.....8.237

    Nice times. Interesting that your 3rd run was not better than your 1st. The DA was almost a 1000 better, and I wouldn't thiink a 192 or 180 temp would have effected you that much. I would have thought that a 7.9X should have happened.

    For some reason my jeep seems to like the DA between 1100 and 1900 ft because thats where my fastest runs. The jeep was dynoed at 1800 ft so im not sure if this has something to do with it. All my 8.20 runs are in the DA between 1100 & 1900 ft except for this last one of 8.23 was at 272 ft. The only change i made was tire pressure in LF @ 39 LBS & RF @ 40 LBS RR @ 35 LBS & LR @ 36 LBS. Because of the tire wear problems we in the front my guy changed the camber from - 3/4 to - 1/4 on both tires. Now im not sure those change would make the difference in my 60', 1/8 or mph. Last time out @ 876 ft my 60' was 1.80 & et was 8.27 @ 83.17
