You would not be the first to question the Monza’s performance trust me I don’t take it personal.
I was surprised my self at the first 2 passes of the year. My previous best was 10.02 made a converter change and some other small changes this winter
Car race weight 2800
Density altitude was 1376ft on this pass
60ft 1.4421
594ft 5.8929
1/8 et 6.3059
1/8 mph 108.94
¼ et 9.8305

Good job Joe. See you at the track in a few weeks.
