As far as the DA, I don't think my tag ever went over 7600 or so. However, the 8500 DA is not at all uncommon, especially in summer months, and I know there have been times when it was over 10,000 at Bandimere. On a typical summer race day you might see 6600' when you first run in the morning, then DA will climb to maybe 9200' by mid afternoon, then as sun sets, it will drop into the 7000' range. Coupled with changeable winds, and frequent afternoon showers, tuning to run the super classes indexes can be a real challenge. My throttle-stop settings can go from 2.55 seconds to 1.60 in the course of 1 days racing. 7713316-LebaronatTexasLODRS.jpg (32 downloads)

Even with my slow junk it was bad.We refused to race at one of these races a few years ago because of the track was junk after the jet cars. More racers should do that. Can not imagine a fast car on small tires or even slicks. Back in the old days they used to run bikes and street cars after the jets. But hey, that was before they even did track prep so there really wasn't much difference. They tried running the fast cars first at US 30 and they refused to run after Tommy Dargewich almost crashed. So out came the street cars. was there and did that - Not fun even at 118. Fastest 300

They have hired a new track manager. Bondurant and the jet boat people are already on board. The new stands they are installing will have shade and inclosed box seats. Fastest 300
