Default ? about temp vs et's & mph at the track

I was just wondering about the effects of high temp against your et & mph at the track. Last sunday i went to race and track temp was at 101. Now this was my 1st time on my new nitto DR's. My best on street tire was 13.09 @ 112.50 at 60 degrees. With the DR's i only ran 12.91 @ 110.55 at 96 degrees. best 60 ft w/street tire 2.1 W/DR's 1.990 {this will be improved on i promise}So my ? is how much do you think that the heat and humitity played on my #'s. thanks for any info

Your performance will vary with temp, humidity and barometeric pressure, e.g., Density altitude.

Weather will effect your times greatly.

Last weekend at the Bracket Finals in Sheveport La.

I ran a 7.44 at 10:30am and the temp was 76 degrees. At 1:30pm I ran a 7.53 and the temp was 92 degrees. Temp makes a big difference.

Good luck to ya,

Coach
