Thank you for your interest Eric. Well, I can say at least that I have used my car to its fullest extent a significant number of times since 20.01.00. 
My car started learning, but then seemed to cease after 20.01.00. I decided that the problem might be my minimal mods and had them removed. The car quickly started learning again and soon moved beyond its mods-on level under 20.01.00. It appears to have had another recent learning spurt. And, I am producing some very good test results now. I think that's it in a nut shell. Let me know if I can provide more info.
grogan545's car immediately took a liking to 20.01.00. And, its performance seems better after than before.

I have updated the straight-line thread for your new and both sets of adjusted data. I think the penalties extracted for better than "standard" weather look right. Check out my effects of adustment post near the current end of the straight-line thread. Again, have a safe and good trip.

There is an article in the current issue of Drag Racing on weather stations. It gives the same (essentially) standard conditions--60 F, 29.92 PSI; and 0% humidity. Do you know how to get humidity from temp, barometric pressure, and dew point?

Thanks much E60VTA. I am trying to learn to do some weather calculations related to the weather "standard" mentioned above as well as to the method one of the auto mags uses in doing weather adjustments. But, doing these things is low priority right now.
