I was happy with just running my 3400 lb car NA with the blower cam in it. Is it something like a 10th for every hundred pounds or something and I was at 9.42 at my weight with absolutely no tuning done on the car or any vacuum pump and foot braking it...next year we will be in the 8’s because I have lots of places to look for a little here and a little there...

Also when I look at a quick 16 sheet that has 3 guys slower than me on it what else am I to think? Is it that common core math up there or what?

They also have an Open body side which they take the top 8 of those entries. George said there were only 2 dragsters. (Open body) What they do then to make a field of 16 cars is to take the cars that entered and qualified slower than the top 8 of the closed body cars to fill the 16 car field. Then 1st round they ladder the cars with the Open Body cars against the Closed body cars. Since there were only 2 dragsters, that made the other 6 open body cars actually closed body but are shown as "Open Body". George for example probably ran a slow closed body car 1st round even though they were called Open body car.

I lived in Erie PA for 47 years, and the high humidity making the air less absorbent to evaporate the sweat on your skin is a major feeling of discomfort. My parents moved from Erie PA to Phoenix AZ, so I know for a fact how humidity in the air adds to discomfort with high ambient temperatures. I can do 100 degrees in Phoenix much easier than 85 degrees in Erie. Erie most times has enough humidity to be considered tropical, 70% is considered tropical, and Erie is 72% daily average. It's not apples to oranges comparing air temperatures if you throw out relative humidity. I was at Norwalk on Friday afternoon, and it was very mild compared to what Norwalk is usually like in late July, early August. When we left Norwalk Friday we stopped at Attica Raceway park about 30 minutes SW from Norwalk to watch the sprint car races. I only had a shorts and a T shirt, fortunately we had a blanket in the car so the wife and I wrapped the blanket over us after the sun went down. That isn't usual for that time of year in northern Ohio. I've been at Norwalk previous years camping, and it was so hot at night, you just sweat lying in bed, so yes, this year was very mild temperatures for the event. I've attended Norwalk for 26 years consecutively less 2020 so I've seen major fluctuations in the weather for the event.

I was running with the Nostalgia Super Stock guys during the event. Just prior to the last qualifying pass for Q-16 I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately I had made a few changes on the car that it didn't like on that pass. It had a bad bog off the line, then it took off. It only ran a 9.55 , but at 151 MPH. My best ET for the weekend was 8.87, best mph was 154. That would have put me well into the field. Oh well!

I have moved about 150 miles away from Lake Erie for a reason, the lake has very little influence on our weather this far away from it, more sunny days and less snow and rain. 200 inches of snow in a season is an indicator of how much water evaporates from Lake Erie in a season and how high the humidity is consistently. I know OK doesn't ever get 200 inches of snow in a winter season. I also lived in Memphis for 2 years and it is no where as humid as it is in and around the great lakes. I was able to work outside in Memphis at near 100 degrees much easier than 85-90 in Erie with humidity over 80%. Fans blowing the humid air do almost nothing to cool you when the humidity is 80% or above. Having only been to Norwalk 2 times isn't a very accurate gauge, I've stayed in OKC in the summer many more than times than twice over my lifetime. TX, NM, AZ, OK, MO, been to all of them in the summer. Also been to FL many times in my life, and FL is the only place that is hotter, with high relative humidity and more miserable outside during the summer than PA/OH great lakes area. I'm done debating the point, I have been around the great lakes, and out in the west in August, I'd much rather be somewhere that the humidity is lower and the temp is higher, rather than the reverse. We have a saying in this part of the country, if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes, and it will change, it's pretty true because we have 25 degree changes in temperature within half an hour pretty consistently. Spend a year in Norwalk and I'll bet you'll change your mind about high humidity, and how it affects you outside in the summer. I'm done........ |
