Default running hot

I was just inline for a long time at taco bell drive through and i was thinking , how many of you run at the track with a hot engine? i know i run 9.8 all night long but if i cool my car off and let it get cold i can pull 9.6s


you get less runs but you also get fatser ETs


I know a lot of guys PUSH their car to the wet box.

Default RE: running hot

for some reason I noticed I run faster at the track with a hot engine
when I let it sit before some of mods I ran 14.1-14.3 with half an hour cool downs in fairly hot weather
then one day at another track I decided to go over and over (that day I got 22 runs) (ubley)
and I got her down to 14.01-14.06 on the 3rd straight run with just an I/E and shorties with a prochamber
then when I cooled her down I went back to 14.1-14.3

The only way a burrito would benefit him is if his car is made for FlexFuel.

my car doesnt get that hot. Its only a 1/4 mile. I cant imagine how hot it must get on the street since I hit it more than a 1/4 mile at a time.
