16.55 @ 79, what the hell happened to that RX8? I know they're hard to launch but that doesn't get you a 79mph trap.

I tried to get an RX8 to play around a couple days ago but he wouldn't bite. I think it should be a decent race stock for stock.

Anyway videos are always cool to see.

14xxx alittle off pace.

I'm trying to teach myself to stall the converter at launch, that didn't help. One time I hit the throttle too hard and 'pushed' through the lights.

I hadn't really planned on going, so I had nearly a full tank of gas.

I left the front skinnies at home - didn't feel like changing 4 wheels for a T&T.

The track elevation was 1200 feet and it was over 90 degrees at the track with a low pressure system moving in. Density altitude was in the 4500-5000 foot range. With perhaps one exception, I think it was the worst air I've ever run the car in. I did manage to hit a 13.9 - once out of 6 runs.

{Enough excuses yet? LOL}

The good news was even in the crappy atmosphere, I was testing dialing in the ET using real time weather stats and was well within a tenth with all my dial-ins except one 'breakout' by about 0.005 seconds.
