Default Does weather affect our cars this much?

I went to Thunder Valley in OK. tonite and the best I could run was a 12.81 @ 108. I am from DE. and race at Cecil County alot where I usually run anywhere from 12.2 to 12.5 @ 113-114.

Elevation is about the same but the temps at Cecil were really good last time I went......around 50-60 and low humidity. It was about 82 and very humid here.

Also, I was in pure street form. BFG Comp TAs and full weight...3550. Cam only, A4, with most boltons and a decent converter.

60's were pretty comparable at both tracks. 1.90's usually.

The track elevations are not the same. Cecil is 320 ft, Thunder Valley is 1054 ft.

The temps make a big difference too. 50-60 is WAY better than 82..

I always thought good air(good DA)is like the best free mod you can get...it makes a world of difference how our cars run and perform.

Damn Bob, you're right. I thought Cecil was closer to 800. Thanks. That doesnt scare me as bad.
