Friday night at HRP in Baytown. Tx. it was 40 F and 37% relative humidity. This apparently allowed my car to run .3 seconds better ET and about 2 mph faster trap speed. I would never have guessed that atmospheric conditions would make that much difference. I was hoping for maybe .1 on the ET. Needless to say, I was a hppy camper.

Ya'll down there in Texas must have been freezing! ;) haha.

Now you see why us east coast guys get all geeked when fall arrives. Cool fall weather = great times.

The times you're running are great! Gotta love the C4. Do you ever bracket race it?

Thanks guys for the response. And yes, it's red with black steel rims with chrome trim rings and lug nuts. 40 F seems cold here, but it does freeze occasionally, LOL.

Solid times, Rev. MPH looks good too! ;)

Cooler temps make for dense air that = more power. Gotta love it.

What kind of tires are you running?

Just BFG Radial TA's 235/60/15's. Traction can sometimes be a problem if they don't have the track well prepared with lots of VHT and if there's not some rubber laid down at the starting line.
