kewl site,the elevation is handy too. lowest elevation of 900' that would be around same distance from Calgary-Dallas would be the Interstate drag strip in MN.

As a last double check, run some numbers (say in Mid-May) at a track of choice and see if the DA changes drastically.
Some do, some don't.
Mission might still be the track of choice for a best sea-level pass....

2100 Miles!
Yikes!
Ronnie....why wait till May? Sacramento is open every weekend , especially Saturdays for test and tune. Lets do this in Jan. or Feb while the air is cool. I am hoping to go in the next 2 weeks or so to try and beat my 12.35 @ 113.22. I'm hoping the new M&H's will be the secret. My old drag radials were 3 seasons old, time for new shoes.
I'll bet I can even get SRTBrad to video. I know John from M&H is interested. I can also get Black Pearl and maybe even Tidnab with the Supertank will show. Maybe even Moparracing (from Portland or Wash). I just wish ArrestMeRed could make it.....Now that would be better than Mammary Monday.

Trainman (sorry, what is your real name anyway?)
Because I couldn't even get the truck out of the garage right now (snow) and the drive from here to there this time of year can be a nightmare. It is supposed to be -27 here Thursday, Friday, Saturday. My 4x4 would be fine for a trip like that, but the SRT?...not anymore!
I guess I could have the truck shipped but I like to drive and would like to make a bit of a holiday out of it.
I'll watch this thread and see if something will work out weather and time-wise.
I hope the new radials will work for ya!

Ronnie...you can call me Jerry...I got the call sign Trainman because I collect old Lionel trains. How far above Seattle are you? When will it thaw out ? I think I-5 should be a good route to take south.

Jerry-
Wow, I remember my Lionel Train when I was a kid. It seemed like it was only about 1/10th the size of a real train! They were big, or at least seemed like it.
We are only 600 miles E.N.E. from Seattle. But we have NO warming influence from the ocean here in Calgary. The low in Seattle Thursday is still above freezing (+40F). Ours is -16F. A big difference.
Our local tracks, if we are lucky, open in May, not before. When we moved here in 1965 it snowed EVERY month of the year! That was an odd one, but it can happen in these parts. We only have around 160 frost-free days a year, average!

the point - rottenronnie - is that NA is a very broad term.... a stock NA truck (ArrestMeRed's) up against one with a cam & strikers (your's) is worth ~100hp difference....... being on a "level playing field", as you put it, isn't really true if the trucks involved aren't setup the same........rottenronnie said:
it certainly seems to bother you that you're @ a higher elevation & a record of some sort seems more than just fun -- look @ your signature : "[email protected] (3000 feet)= Q.C. (N.A.) 1/4 Mile Record Holder "..... :dontknow:

The SRT8 group of vehicles are a blast! I have been trying to talk my wife into an SRT Grand Cherokee for a while now. They are quick; And even better with a few mods!
I just put it out there to see if a gtg could be accomplished in a somewhat "central" location. Florida and L.A. are a long way from here!
We will see where this goes... Maybe Cali WILL be the place.

Easy math: 1400 miles @ 100 m.p.h.......

ARRESTmeRed04 said:
I think thats what Ron was thinking around there I'm guessing.
ARRESTmeRed04 said:
Somewhat open on that one. My time isn't my own much beyond that point but I guess it all depends what works for others??..I can usually make "adjustments", as required.

You better get a good pair of sunglasses for the trip there Ron.
