Weather really plays a HUGE part in how well your car will run and 93 degrees is murder on track times. Last Saturday @ Etown (Pontiac Day) it was cloudy and about 70 degrees. I got in two runs in the morning that were disappointing to me, a 14.26 @ 97 mph and a 14.24 @ 96 mph. So I dial in a 14.20 and got to run around 2:00 and had to rundown a 15.8 Bonneville. Thought I just beat him at the end, but we both had a double break out. I ran a 13.95 @ 99 mph. The car picked up 3 tenths and 3 mph. Come to find out that the air density had changed and quite a few cars were picking up 3-4 tenths. Englishtown used to post the air density on your time slip, but I noticed it was not on the ones they gave out then.
