Weather conditions, engine temp, and track conditions all play a part in the performanc of your car. To learn more about what role weather has on performance do a Google search on "density altitude"

My best ET was 13.20 and I have not been able to repeat it since. I have had a bunch of 13.3 and a few 13.4 runs since. I might have had a nice tail wind on that 13.20 run.

It's totally different with this heat. It's been in the 90's here and you just can't leave at as high a rpm as when it's cooler. My driving skills are still improving so I was able to get a little better time last night. 12.83@106 towards the end of the night. It was about 88 degrees, 60-70% humidity and the track itself was about 94 degrees. It was supposed to rain, but didn't.
