Drag Racing at Night

I wanted to ask all the experts on how to best launch a car at night? The track is colder, and wheelspin is always a problem.

I went to the track last night, I won't even bother posting the 60' times

Thanks Guys

Mine always hooked better at night... it's gets "greasy" in the heat.

Both... but I always made sure I did good burnouts either way. My Nitto 450 street tires liked to get hot 'n sticky.

I just found out on the street car test n' tune nights, they don't put VHT on the track, i'm sure that makes a big difference

So essentially I just have to try and launch at a lower rpm and not get on the throttle so hard?
