Default Ran the dyno queen

Last night was probably the worst night for racing, it had been raining all week and that day so humidity was near 70%, the temp was in the high 70s low 80s. So I decided hey why not take the dyno queen racing and see what it does. Las time I ran it, the temp was in the low 40s, awesome racing weather and the car went 8.5@80 on a 2.0. That night we iced the intake and pushed the car through the staging lanes. Last night didnt do any thing, drove through the staging lanes, the engine water temp was about 230*, really hot, but the ol turd went 8.5 again at 80 on a 1.9, not bad all thing considered, still on street tires, so I think its running ok for being so hot out and an engine temp that high.

Had to have been in the high 70s, humid as ****, it has been raining that day and all week. I remember after every run I was sweating like crazy from being in the car with the windows up.
