[QUOTE="01bluesnake, post: 13240322, member: 84985"] I agree with whatever is on the slip, then that's what it runs. Bench racing would be using the corrected time as your time, instead of the actual time you are running. It's not about getting carried away with DA, but when running a car and testing for parts DA makes a difference. Too many guys on this forum cry that the car ran slower or they didn't see any gains with mods, but yet they have no idea what the DA was like which could be the reason for their concern. When dialing in a car to run a class, or time, you better believe the weather makes a difference on your time. Correcting is also very useful when testing parts at the track for gains. If you know the DA when you were doing pre and aft part testing, you can correct and see if you picked up or lost time. Most people on the board don't understand how helpful correcting can be for checking and testing, and instead knock it for what it is and don't really talk about it. My times I post are all uncorrected, but better believe I watch DA so I can see how my car is running each track outing compared to the last. I've also seen a local car and friend run an 11.6x which corrected to an 11.4 at sea level. We got good weather with low DA and the car ran an 11.4 which is what it corrected to previously. DA calculations do work but most people are just to lazy or stupid to use them how they should. Its only ricer math if you are claiming the corrected time. Also, boosted cars very hard to be very consistent with to use correction. If the car running regardless of it being on motor or boosted can run back to back identical times, you will find benefits from being able to calculate in DA. Street tire cars, or cars that are inconsistent won't be a very good car to correct for changes in parts or weather conditions since the times are always changing from run to run. [/QUOTE]
