Default What is the perfect weather for Drag Racing?

I think that it would be around 70 degrees.(perfect when wearing a fire suit and strapped in the Hot Rod in the staging lanes) Clear blue sky with a 5 mph tail wind. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

IMO this is the perfect weather to run fast and be comfortable at the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

What do ya'll think?

About 50º, bright sun to warm the track, nice tailwind, and REALLY high barometer (30.5x+)!!!

Much colder and you have to be concerned with a cold launch pad.

Bright and Sunny is cool but I think that 50 is to cold. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I don't think that my Hot Rod and the big tire Hot Rods like the track that cold. Iam talking about the best weather for fast times and fan comfort. The family has to be comfortable at the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I won't disagree on the temp for fan AND driver comfort, I'll admit I was cold standing in the tsaging lanes the last few weeks in 30-40 degree air, but the car sure likes it! <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
