Default Track on Sunday

Well I went to the track yesterday on street tires so I was not expecting anything amazing, but I did not expect what happened. My car had no mph in fact it went the slowest it has ever gone. On my 18in rims I mph anywhere from 119mph-122mph, but last night I kept running 114mph. It was so pathetic I wanted to cry. My 1/8 mile mph was doen also to 89mph it is norm about 95mph. I guess it was just a bad night, but I did not expect to do that poorly. I mean is this normal for this kind of weather or should I be looking at the car for problems.

It was frickin hot this past weekend. Your car is going to slow down alot during the summer months.

I haven't lost any mph with the heat, and only lost about 2/10's so far in the 1/4 from 50 to 86 weather.

My best was 12.8 at 110. That was spinning off the line, letting off and getting back on it. I was a second slow! I made 5 passes and spun bad every single time. I was so pissed I left before 7.
