Nice run Glenn.  8.07 on an 8.00 index. 

Why did they shut you off the first time?  Very cool they let you run again.

Our mistake, we left a petcock  open on the cooling system. They allowed us to close it and make the run.

Water grains were at 115, haven't had much experience with that level, the tuneup in the dragster would normally have run around 7.85

Thanks

That much water in the air and running alc, make sure to spray the injector with windsheild de-icer before the burnout. we lost at the HRR in Ohio when the blades iced shut and the motor quit.

You should see the frost on the hat when we warm the engine up, thanks for the tip.

great tip DRE  we run here in the South with giant humidity this time of year--that is if we leave the house LOL At my age I am usually an early season and fall guy now--98 degrees with 80 % humidity --you put your helmet on and its like having your head stuck inside a pickle jar!!  Our trick is get a bilge fan from marine store and run a hose to the helmet--Fresh air system for under $100
Way to go Glenn
