Too hot to race this time of year. Have fun, the track will probably be slick again.

Have fun and good luck!

Horrendous DA and heat misery factor doesn't convince me to waste rubber and $2.72 gasoline.

Does anyone know what kind of difference it makes when it's this time of year? If the humidity was much lower and the temps weren't in the 90's/100's. We won't even discuss if the track wasn't always slick!

Put it this way, temperature and density altitude alone my car runs a good solid 4-5 tenths off and MPH is down a good 4-5.

It makes that much of a difference, so my racing season starts mid-late October and ends the end of May for me. Track conditions with prep <---if and when it's done well usually for slicks only nights, it hooks very good. On nights where the dew points are high even with decent prep it's not the way it's going to be when dewpoints are in the 30's and 40's like in Dec/Jan/Feb.

That's been my overall experience racing there for a few years year round.

When it hooks for my on drag radials I can cut a 1.78 60' when it's horrible I struggle most of the night to get it down to a 1.92, same car, same tires, same suspension, same track definately not me or my car.

When are the slicks-only nights? ET streets count as slicks (and drag radials aren't allowed), right? Just curious, I live a little closer to OSW but I'd like to start going to moroso too (both are about an hour away from me).

You should be able to race on ET streets. Drag radials are out unless there is a bracket race going on the same night from what I've seen.
