I am back, guys. I had a terrible night racing. Traction issues, missed shifts, tire sway. I made 6 passes, 4 on the box and 2 on the JLT. First two box passes were wastes. The second and third were crap 60 foot runs and a 12.5 and 12.6. I was disgusted, but I bolted up the JLT and went out anyway. I immediately went 12.1 with the JLT and then essentially hot-lapped it to a 12 flat. Never broke out of the 12's tonight and never cracked below a 1.7 60 foot. I will post the full story tomorrow. I just sent Shaun the logs for his review.
In my honest opinion, the JLT worked. I was struggling all night with a crap track. Plus it was humid and windy. We had a wicked head wind. As soon as the JLT went on, the car woke up and pulled through the 60 and just ran better.
However, I know the test is inconclusive and I blame myself. I just could not get it together tonight. I will check the DA tomorrow and see what I was up against.
Best pass was 12. 043 @ 114.74 with a 1.74. Best mph I ran with the box was 112.98.
I am beat, and I have to get up in 5 hours to swap off the slicks.

Can you also post up all the timeslips for comparison? From the sound of it, it doesn't sound like we have a valid data sample to draw a conclusion from.
BTW - weather is not looking good for us on Saturday. 70% chance of heavy rain. It may be next week before we can track test and post results.
