Normally when that happens they give you a ticket to come back for free next time.

It's simple, multipy your E.T. by .97 and your trap mph by 1.03. That is your sea level time.

Let me know when you go because I might be interested in going as well. Wednesdays are the best because it isn't crowded.

If you're gonna run with DR's then take your brake fuse out, do a nice 2nd gear burnout to really warm up the tires. Launch high not to bog but always pre-load your drivetrain so you don't shock it and break your diff.

Good luck
