This thread about the weather is from a couple of weeks ago, but I feel I must make a further comment; just spent the whole day at the track in 50f (10c) weather. Cold wind and bright sunshine wears you down; I'm in way worse shape than after a day with high heat and humidity.
The only good thing about today was the unbelievable air; equivalent density altitude was couple of hundred feet below sea level all day. A lot of "personal best" ET'S, and more than a few broken parts. I went a season best 6.03@116.3.
Racing in the winter (or at least in winter temperatures) ain't a lot of fun.
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....
