Alan et al,
HPM got consistent (6 runs, 3 drivers) 15.2s from a R/T CC with 6500 miles
on the odo. Thats about where Im at right now but Ive "done a few things"
and my best time was at around 90 degrees and 80% humidity... Im really
looking forward to a 55 degree, low humidity Saturday (doesnt happen often
in San Diego) to evaluate the temp/humidity theories...But after last
Saturday... No picture windows though!
BKB
