You can correct all you want but the track et or mph is what you get. Don't fall into the corrected trap, if you race in the spring, summer and fall as I do you'll get a full gamet of ETs and MPH. I've run in DAs of Zero up to 4500 and there is a huge difference in how your car will perform. Just take the ET and Mph for that day and live with it. I ran last weekend and had a full range of temps, water grains and DA. Thursday the car ran 9.94 and 9.95 at over 141 mph. Friday about the same, we got into Saturday morning and and had to slow the car down to qualify on a 10.00 index with a 10.06@127, let off about 1200 ft of the 1320. The after noon changed dramatically with temps around 80 degrees, water grains close to 100 and DA was about 2500. The car slowed down to a 10.07@141, the problem with drag racing in the heat is that your car typically gets heat soaked in the staging lanes which mine did and all my Et lose occurred in the 1/8 mile and picked up on the back half and actually ran over 141 mph again. My point is don't worry about the corrected ETs because you think your car ran slow, thats what you get that day and wait for cooler temps and you'll get those better ETs and MPH.
