Just wondered what kind of times people are running? My bests rights now in Full season mode during eliminations not testing or qualifying: Top Fuel 4.341 at 318 mph against Cory Mac Finals at Indy Funny Car 4.760 at 322mph against Ron Capps Second round English Town By the way Tantrum my congratulations on your work with the weather and atmospherics. This is by far and away the best simulation of weather conditions and their effects on engine tuning and track conditions I have ever seen!!! Not only do you have to figure out how to get the car to go fast at different tracks at different times of day but just like real, the weather changes virtually ever pass and must be compensated for in your tune up! Initially, I was surprised that there weren't more options for changing more engine parts and experimenting in testing but in reality they don't do this when they are racing. Only in test and tune sessions, but there is more than enough things to fine tune to get the car to run the big numbers and not blow the tires off once you get into it. About the only thing missing that I can thing of is in regards to compression ratios. In real life they run different compression ratios in different cylinders to compensate for fuel flows. I believe they can have ratios between 5.5 and 7.5 in same engine front to back. Great job! Pete
