Anybody else notice how much better the cars sound at Denver? (1 Viewer)

[.]

I'm just sitting here watching the qualifying and noticed that even over TV the cars sound so much better at 90% compared to the neutered 85%. Bring back 90% ASAP!

 

[Jer]

100% no limits.

 

[Sue]

yep, we noticed. maybe go back to 90% all the time.

Dude-- if you been at the track you should know that

90%, more boost too. Whatever wing angle they want. Air was pretty bad too, DA was something like 8500ft.

 

[TF CREW]

last year we were a few feet shy of 10,000ft corrected, but its still early.

They are racing at other tracks around the country BT... Maybe even the whole world... Other planets?? Dunno yet

Steven was at Sacramento, that's in California don't ya know...
Where they run up to 100% for real...

Yes Steven, for this race ONLY, 90%... A lot of reasons why (no air) and no time to explain them all... I'm trying to get over to your pics and I keep getting sidetracked!!

Yup, I noticed a little more pop in the sound. I used to think you could not tell the difference between 85% and 90%. Unless ESPN did something different with the sound, I could tell a difference.

I was walking through the pits in Pomona the year before last, and Del fired up the Blue Max. Talk about cackle... I thought to myself.. wow, I wonder who THAT is?!?! It sounds like the should! Needless to say I walked pretty damn fast to where the sound was coming from.

I don't know what the Kalitta camp is doing, but even at 85% those car Pop pretty good at Idle! Especially Hillary's, stand as close to that car when they fire in the pits, you'll hear the Difference believe me! I don't know if they run them leaner on the Lowside or what, but No other cars sound like their's do.

on the telecast last nite, they came back from a commercial break
to a camera/microphone sitting right against the wall of the track;
east side of track, and a pair of FC's were doing their burnouts, coming
to a stop just about next to the camera. The combination of 90%
and whatever kind/type/position of microphone made the best nitro
sound on my TV that i have heard in quite some time.
ESPN please repeat.

I thought the Powerade bottle on the wall, was way cool...

Anyone Notice how NHRA has no problem allowing 90% at Denver, yet they need a year to think(?) about allowing it fulltime??
