Ok, the weather finally cooperated with me this past Thursday. Temps
started in the low to mid
70s then droppped to the upper 60s, a beautiful FL evening at Bradenton
Motorsports Park (West Central FL), high humidy to the point of dew forming.
Anyway, here are the times with notes and kills.

Runs made with tailgate off, no spare, open dump, 26x10,5x15 M/T drag

I'd expect that an IAT adjustor or resistor would have helped this evening.
I also think that the temps and humidity robbed me of at least a 1/10.
Also tire pressure play would have been a benefit. You guys with drag
radials, what pressures do you tend to start at.
