I went and it was def too hot to race... BUT we did anyway, lol..

My best was a 13.4@103.9 , Basically .5 slower ET and 4 MPH slower than last trip when it was 71 degrees.

It was 103 degrees when the track opened at 6 and 94 degrees when we left at 8pm.. 61% humidity i think ? Im gonna find out the DA, but conditions were terrible to say the least..

got a decent 60 = 2.01 60 but with the slicks again that disapointing.... but even with the 2.0 I couldnt do better than a 13.4. Oil temps were below 220 for 2 out of 6 runs and around 240 for the other 4... The car took a thrashing tonight. I tried to let it sit , than they announced the early closing time and forced me to run it HOT.

IMO it was a waste of my time..

There was litteraly about 10 cars at the track... 10 people who wasted their time , lol.

I Also launched the car at 4500 RPMS and it gripped like crazy and actualy bogged down every time... I refused to launch any higher, the heat just messed everything up.. Last time 3500 would produce wheel spin but still pulling 1.95's , absolutely no wheel spin tonight with the MT Streets.

My friends automatic that weighed in 150 lbs more than me due to kit, system, etc. managed a 13.3 @ 105 which was pretty good.. Both have full bolt ons/tune.... Im guessing my car or its tune is a little more whacked out from the heat ... my oil hit 270 at one point today. The car just overall felt like crap. My previous best was 12.9 his 13.0.

On a side note a Camaro SS ran a 13.01 @ 107 , with intake and long tube headers... I believe a "flash" of some kind too.. He was hoping for 12.7-8 and got a 13.01, that MPH is about 5 mph slower than I saw the modded SS's going last time out though, but the car still preformed very well....
