Last week the corrected altitude was around 400-500 ft I believe which isn't really that great around here. If you are going to make the trip I would hold off a little while and wait for the weather to get even colder. On a nice cool Jan/Feb morning I'm sure you'll squeek out the times your looking for <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /><br />And on top of this, it is just fun to race a different track every now and then <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ November 15, 2005, 09:16 PM: Message edited by: Yellow94GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Yellow94GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 431</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,15,21,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <br /> <br /> <small>[ November 15, 2005, 09:15 PM: Message edited by: Yellow94GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>StockMotorHero</b> <br /><small>Member # 6171</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,15,21,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What is the coldest month for SAC? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SF Coupe</b> <br /><small>Member # 1810</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,18,20,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Nice times for the MPH, what gear are you running, any weight reduction?<br /><br />Jan and Feb are the coldest months up here.<br /> <br /> <small>[ November 18, 2005, 08:15 PM: Message edited by: SF Coupe ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Team SOLO</b> <br /><small>Member # 722</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,19,13,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If you are all about getting the fastest time possible, come to Sac anytime between now and February.
