Lol..sounds like you making bitch excuses why your slower in better weather.

Different tracks are like different brand dynos. DA correction is like SAE/STD correction, even though its 'corrected' its still not an accurate comparison. Just like dynojet corrected numbers vs Mustang Dyno.
You can have all the good weather you want but if the track is better at one place than the other it makes a huge difference. For instance, go run at Gulfport dragway (non NHRA track) then go run at No Problem raceway (NHRA track). You will find a night and day difference. Unless both cars are running on the same track you can't compare tenths.
Give me a ****ing break.
So now records don't count if they're not all run at the same track? Hold on, I'm going to alert the NHRA about that.
I've not gotten involved in this battle-royal, but let me say, you're full of crap.
Re read what he posted. This is probably the second most retarded post in this thread. He said nothing about records, he just said comparing times from different tracks is like comparing dyno numbers from different dynos.
Records aren't "comparing times" and cars?
Yea, you're right, one has nothing to do with the other.
This board really is the short bus board.

So you are telling me that running in better air has nothing to do with racing. Hmmm.
Silv I think you are missing the point. Wbt went faster in shittier air.
So, are you attempting to discredit his argument that some tracks produce better times than others? We all know Cecil County is consistently a 2-3 tenth and 2-3 mph better track than most others. I run at two tracks and one always hooks harder and produces better ETs, while the other is slower ET wise, but always faster in mph.
I don't think he is trying to "make excuses," just pointing out that there are variables. Everyone who is attacking Shaun is making these DA arguments that are in favor of WBT and Danner. However, we don't know how well the track they are running on is prepped. Or, if it is a "quick" track or a slow track. We don't know what Shaun would run on that track today.
In the end, Shaun is running 10's with a bolt-on car. I am sure his times are going to improve as the DA comes down further and he gets it dialed in more. I am sure the same can be said for the Texas crew. It will be a fun winter.

Come race at my track. A hillbilly in the woods forgive me for coming here track. Sea level vs 1798 da is nothing. Get limit here. You don't know what the hell your talking about. Hell I'm drunk and know the difference.

Records are records and I will NOT discredit times set at any track in any DA.
I don't even care about 'corrected' ET/MPH.
Every track is different. Sac happens to be a dick length longer than 1320ft (6in). So what.
I happen to run consistent 100-101mph in the 1/8th. So what.
I ran 103 in the 1/8th a week ago. So what. A brand new ZL1 manual was running 110-111MPH traps at Sac the other night. So what. A brand new 2013 GT500 was running that same night at couldn't break 117MPH. So what does all that add up to???? Consistently low 1/4 MPH at a track that is 6in too long. But I don't ****ing complain. That's the track I run at, that's where all AED tunes are tested at. That MY home track and I don't care if I'm at a disadvantage. I still run sub 11 sec ET's with a car that's setup for the road course.
Thus, Comparing these cars is pointless unless we are racing each other heads up.
Yes, I realize this is the weekend of the 'where's Shaun' race, and I really did want to make it out....but, again, 1800+ miles one way for a 'grude race' just did not sound like something I just had to run out and do.
Then go to the better track.
