    In the qualifying pass prior to the 5.97 it ran a 6.021 so I dialed a 6.01 then changed it when I went in to staging to a 6.00 cuz the sun had gone down. When it decided to break the 6 mark it didn't play around. I was in total shock when I looked at the slip, and even more so after the 5.95.
    Got cool weather comin in this weekend:clap:

    It is amazing the effects of weather conditions on performance. You will see plenty of 5's now that cooler weather has arrived.
    If you have not done so get yourself a good weather station and start logging the weather conditions and car performance. It will help predict the future.

    Here is some good reading on Patrick Hale's site

    Some good info their Alan, thanks. A weatherstation is in the budget as well as a new set of slicks, was hoping I could get through the rest of the season with these, but thats not gonna happen now.

    Rick has definitely been bitten by the racing bug. Get the new slicks and shoot for 5.8x's (y)
