Congrats! You made 25 passes in one outting? That's a TON!

Corrected numbers for drag racing are a no no

It was a quiet day at the 'strip, and I got about a pass every 5 minutes when I was running. It was really terrific.

I have my doubts about corrected #s, but I'm tracking both to see whether they are consistent as the weather changes. I'm quite intent on getting an *uncorrected* 10.x @ 130 however
