You weren't surprised, were you?

Do you have your current location and your temp, barometric and humidity?

Nice time!


BTW, did you change your setup (gas tank level, gas, weight, tire pressures, track)?

I would guess something close to this:

42°F
Mostly Cloudy Feels Like
37°F

UV Index: 2 Minimal
Dew Point: 19°F
Humidity: 40%
Visibility: Unlimited
Pressure: 30.34 inches and rising
Wind: From the North at 8 mp

As taken for Tampa; but I would suspect it to be similar at the track. Unusal conditions for this part of Florida but great for racing!!! High Baro, low dewpoint and temps; couldn't ask for better...

Congratulations TypeR ...I knew you could do it, I never doubted you for a minute. This cold weather we are having is a big help for you since you are naturally aspirated.

Great Job, & welcome to the all-motor 13-second club (I think you are the first one, no?)

that would be cool if u could convert the CL to the MDX AWD system too. Probably cost 15k but it would be neat. $2500 for a 3.5L doesn't sound bad at all. With this upgrade do u use the existing CL tranny?

Just imagine how many more CL's Acura could sell if they put this 3.5L engine into her... (sigh)... but it'll never happen 'cuz she's dead after this year.
