Not for a while, I'm not a hot weather racer. I work on the car in the summer, why suffer at the track when its 95 degrees and 100% humidity when I can work on the car in an air conditioned garage

I hear you on that This weather in the south is pretty brutal during the summer. If only everyday could be as nice as today though (sunny and mid 70's temps)!

Yea, It was nice Sunday, saturday kinda sucked though. Thats why I broke out so easy on my last pass, ran a 9.40 @ 143 and I let off some in 2nd gear. Heat is hard on everything and since I can pretty much run year round here I have to take a few months off a year. Plus the good thing is thats when its the middle od summer thats the 'slow' season for most race part manufactures and there is usually no backorders of parts delays

Here are the passes from Sat and Sunday, I stepped up the car a tiny bit for eliminations and went a little too far, plus it cooled off a bit - hard to judge where you are at passing a car going nearly 50mph faster

Also notice my son, I wish I could sleep through noise like that
