Great results Eric. One caution is that you need to be pretty sure your meter is calibrated correctly. What pitch setting did you use? Other than rollout, that's the only setting that you could have fouled up that would affect your 1/4th results. Did you use a 1' rollout? If not, then you're results will need further correction for compariability with g-man and I. Please let me know. Also, it is very important that you believe that your "strip" is both flat and level. Even a small amount of down hill will invalidate the amount you can rely on your results to some extent. You can do a crude check. Drive your car through the 1/4, beginning well before the start, very very slowly, both ways, and see if your altitiude changes. Here we go again.

Wooo THanks Znod for the calculated info. But I dont know what the pitch settings was set to.

Do you know jiio or hollywood? Since you "read the manual" and adjusted it before your 5.10 run... RIGHT?????

I think the road was pretty flat... it was a little bumpy in some areas towards the middle of the run... but I think it was flat.

I guess its time to do another run just to make sure!!!! JOE!? heheheh

Neither of us had read the manual. Hollywood's 5.1 was without the pitch factor. No more runs for me in the near future. My AA isn't working anymore. :'(
