        i know exactly what your problem is--you live in texas. if the humidity was over 80% then expect your times to be about 1/2 second worse--not too mention i bet it was over 80 degrees outside, right?

          1/2 second?

          thats a little generous.


          You will pull better times in better weather. But a half second is pretty generous.

          What are your 60's?

          if he is looking at a 1/2 second am I looking at a full second with my track being next to a swamp, in the rainy season, during the middle of august in Fl where 4 kids died of heat exhasution last week?

            It was pretty humid, and the temp was about 80 I'd say. I don't think I was getting very good 60' times tho. My best was about 2.3. That little red ricer was hilarious too.

            Yeah I was there.

                I'd say...wait till november or december and then run it. I live way down south in tx..20 min away from mexico...and I get horrible times in the summer. Last time I ran my car, it was like 85% humidity and rising, and it was like 90*. I had serious traction problems, i need new back tires..I raked in a 15.6 :mad: If i wait till we get closer to winter...i can pull 14's. So...i was thinking about going this friday..but hell..i think i'd rather just wait.
