Cold air=good time slip

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?

Rev 01-26-2003 11:25 PM

Red
 
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.

Nice ET I think you have a 12 seond car if you can get that 60ft to come down to a 1.8 or so.

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?

Street tires
 
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.
