Ideal track conditions?? what are (temp,humidity) the ideal track conditions?
here's what I am looking at for tonight.
8pm
Temp:82^
Dewpoint:55^
Relative Humidity:44%
Wind:NNW 14mph (crosswind)
BP
current) 29.93 and falling
I know that is not ideal, but this is the first little break we have had from the heat around these parts.

Re: Ideal track conditions?? Temperature = absolute ZERO
Humidity = ZERO
Barometer = Higher the better
Track surface = 120 degrees and VHT'd like mad.
100 mph wind at your back.
Course this is impossible. Point being, there is no ideal track condition. Just better or worse ones. About the best you're likely to see is 40 degree air, %30H, 31B, an 80 degrees track, and a tailwind of 20 mph.

Re: Ideal track conditions?? I'd take 50Deg/48%Hum/30.20Baro with a warm track surface and a 10 MPH tail wind <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Ideal track conditions?? Barometer seems to be the most important. You can tell there is high barometric pressure when the skys are clear with high cumulus clouds. The car will have a little more snap in this weather.
Hey Colonel, while we are dreaming about perfect weather conditions how about a racing on a track with a decline. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
